Skin conductance as a real-time indicator of the high/low workload during flight simulator sessions (case study)

Abstract

The use of computer-based simulators in the training of specialists in various fields is becoming more widespread. However, the changes in the physiological state of the operator, throughout the simulator training process, remain unclear. To this end, a study of these changes in the state of the flight simulator operator under normal conditions and extreme weather conditions was conducted. It was found that skin conductance parameters depend on the flight stage and significantly change when flight conditions become more difficult.
