Title
Relationship between Emotional State and Pupil Diameter Variability under Various Types of Workload Stress
Abstract
We carried out two experiments to explore the relationship between the frequency characteristic of pupil diameter variability and emotional state under various types of workload. The workload required the subjects to listen to spoken words and categorize them. The difficulty of the task was adjusted by changing the time interval of the stimulus presentation in Experiment 1 (time-based task) and the number of categories in Experiment 2 (cognitive-based task). Pupil diameter was monitored and recorded using an infrared video camera while observers were performing the tasks. In both experiments, a significant correlation was observed between the frequency characteristic of pupil diameter variability and emotional state. Our results indicated the frequency characteristic of pupil diameter variability to be a potentially useful index for evaluating mental stress.
