Open AccessDissecting Driver Behaviors Under Cognitive, Emotional, Sensorimotor, and Mixed Stressors
In a simulation experiment we studied the effects of cognitive, emotional, sensorimotor, and mixed stressors on driver arousal and performance with respect to (wrt) baseline. In a sample of n = 59 drivers, balanc...

Open AccessFast by Nature - How Stress Patterns Define Human Experience and Performance in Dexterous Tasks
In the present study we quantify stress by measuring transient perspiratory responses on the perinasal area through thermal imaging. These responses prove to be sympathetically driven and hence, a likely indic...
