Abstract

The variations of eye fixation related potentials (EFRPs) were examined in two tasks under three lighting conditions for assessment of lighting environments. Sixteen subjects participated in two tasks; a difficult and an easy reading task under three lighting conditions: Spot light (S), General light (G) and Mixed light (M). EEG (Oz) and EOG were recorded. EEG epochs time-locked to onset of eye fixations were collected at random and averaged separately in two arrays to obtain a pair of EFRPs. Two wave forms under the S were similar, although those under the G showed the disparity, the largest disparity being in the easy task under the G. Under the S, wave forms of EFRPs were stable in the difficult task. The amplitude changed with the task load. The results suggested that EFRPs might be an index of the work load under lighting conditions.
