About
Wouter Durnez is a researcher at the forefront of cognitive ergonomics and neuroergonomics, specializing in the intersection of human cognition and industrial safety. His work focuses on detecting cognitive overload in high-stakes environments using non-invasive physiological signals. In his highly cited 2022 study, "Danger, high voltage! Using EEG and EOG measurements for cognitive overload detection in a simulated industrial context," Durnez demonstrated how electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) can reliably identify when workers are mentally overwhelmed, offering a real-time, objective measure of cognitive strain. This research has garnered 29 citations, underscoring its impact on both academic and applied fields. By bridging neuroscience and human factors engineering, Durnez provides actionable insights for designing safer workplaces, particularly in industries where mental overload can lead to critical errors. His work is a cornerstone for developing adaptive systems that monitor and mitigate cognitive risks, making him a key contributor to the future of intelligent, human-centered industrial environments.
