About
Jessica Morton is a leading researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and industrial engineering, with a primary focus on cognitive load detection and human factors in advanced manufacturing environments. Her work is pivotal in shaping the human-centered dimensions of Industry 4.0, where she investigates how physiological signals can safeguard worker well-being and optimize performance. Morton’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) to objectively measure cognitive overload in real-time, particularly for assembly workers facing increasingly complex tasks. Her highly cited 2022 paper, “Danger, high voltage! Using EEG and EOG measurements for cognitive overload detection in a simulated industrial context,” has garnered 29 citations, establishing a foundational methodology for non-invasive mental state monitoring. Building on this, her 2019 work identified predictive EEG features specifically for overload detection, offering a practical framework for adaptive automation systems that can dynamically adjust task demands. By bridging neuroergonomics and applied industrial safety, Morton’s research not only advances theoretical understanding of cognitive workload but also provides actionable tools to prevent human error and fatigue in the factories of the future.
