The effect of work rest schedules and type of cognitive workload on mental fatigue

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of workload and work-rest on the mental fatigue since the cognitive work such as inspection, welding and many more where it required very attention visual and induced the mental fatigue. This research was conducted through the design of experiment...
