Mental Effort Estimation in Motion Exploration and Concept Generation Design Tasks using Inter-Band Relative Power Difference of EEG
Conceptual design is a cognitively complex task, especially in the engineering design of products having relative motion between components. Designers prefer sketching as a medium for conceptual design and use gestures and annotations to represent such relative motion. Literature suggests that static representations of motion in sketches may not achieve the intended functionality when realised, because it primarily depends on the designers' mental capabilities for motion simulation. Thus, it is…

So I’ll fly no more on Boeing
So high into the sky,
Though the fares be e’er so tempting —
For I just don’t wish to die.
For the engineering’s sketchy
And the workmanship is trash.
And the planes they sometimes wobble —
Then they tilt, and plunge, and crash.
Though the sky was made for soaring,
Like a hawk that circles high.
Yet I’ll no more board a Boeing —
For I’m not so keen to die.
