The present research aims to investigate changes in trainees’ cognitive control levels during a pilot training process while they underwent basic flight maneuvers. EEG microstate analysis was applied together with spectral power features to quantitatively monitor trainees’ cognitive control under varied flight tasks during different training sessions. Comparisons were conducted between two types of tasks and among different training stages in terms of trainees' cognitive control.

Description

This repository contains software for analyzing EEG data to investigate changes in cognitive control levels in pilot trainees during a training process involving basic flight maneuvers. The code is specifically tailored for applying EEG microstate analysis and spectral power feature extraction to monitor cognitive control under various flight tasks across multiple training sessions.

Data format

The software is designed to work with EEG data recorded using the 64-channel Biosemi system. The data should contain 64 channels labeled appropriately according to the Biosemi convention. Please ensure the data has undergone basic preprocessing before using it with this software.

Installation and Requirements

The code in this repository was developed and tested using Python 3.8. It is recommended to use a similar or newer version to ensure compatibility.

Dependencies

MNE: For EEG data handling and preprocessing. NumPy: For numerical operations. SciPy: For statistical analysis. Matplotlib: For visualizing EEG data.
