About

Jonas De Bruyne is a rising researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and human factors engineering, with a primary focus on cognitive load detection and neuroergonomics. His work addresses a critical challenge in modern industrial settings: identifying when operators are cognitively overloaded to prevent errors and enhance safety. In his most-cited paper, "Danger, high voltage! Using EEG and EOG measurements for cognitive overload detection in a simulated industrial context" (2022, 29 citations), De Bruyne pioneered the use of combined electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) signals to non-invasively monitor mental strain in real-time. This study demonstrated that specific neural and ocular markers can reliably predict overload, offering a practical, wearable solution for high-stakes environments like power plants or assembly lines. While his citation count is still building—reflecting an early-career trajectory—the impact of this work lies in its translational value, bridging laboratory neuroscience with applied industrial safety. De Bruyne’s research not only advances theoretical understanding of cognitive states but also provides actionable tools for designing adaptive workstations and training protocols. His contributions are particularly notable for their methodological rigor and potential to reduce workplace accidents, marking him as a promising voice in the field of cognitive ergonomics.
