About

Aleksandra Zheleva is a leading researcher in cognitive ergonomics and neuroergonomics, specializing in the intersection of human performance and physiological monitoring. Her work primarily focuses on detecting cognitive overload in high-stakes environments, particularly industrial and operational contexts. Her most-cited study, "Danger, high voltage! Using EEG and EOG measurements for cognitive overload detection in a simulated industrial context" (2022, 29 citations), demonstrates a pioneering approach to real-time mental state assessment. By integrating electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG), Zheleva developed a non-invasive method to identify when workers experience cognitive overload, a critical factor in preventing errors and accidents in hazardous settings. This contribution has significant implications for safety protocols and adaptive automation systems. Her research is notable for bridging laboratory-grade neurophysiological techniques with applied industrial scenarios, offering practical tools for enhancing workplace safety and efficiency. With a growing citation impact, Zheleva’s work is shaping the future of human-machine interaction and cognitive load management, making her a key voice in the field of applied neuroscience.
