Eye tracking and ECG as flight crew workload indicators in a training context

Pilots are responsible for the safe operations of airplanes in complex environments. Therefore, is it essential that pilots receive high quality training. High quality training is dependent on instructor’s ability to provide constructive feedback and help pilots perform to the best of their abilities. The recent development of portable biometric sensors, such as the Apple Watch, open up a realm of possibilities for creating tools for instructors to provide quality feedback to pilot candidates. This partnership, between Keplr Intelligence and Concodia Vision Labs aims to combine the power of artificial intelligence with that of cognitive science to develop a tool which would enable instructors to better understand pilot candidates’ performance in the fast-paced, high-risk environment of flight training. This is expected to contribute to increasing flight safety and the quality of pilot training, all while strengthening Montreal’s position as a leader in aviation and artificial intelligence.
