COGNITIVE LOAD SCORING OF A VISUAL STIMULUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17723733 Titled 'COGNITIVE LOAD SCORING OF A VISUAL STIMULUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus that uses a processing device to analyze visual stimuli and determine their cognitive load. The device obtains an information density matrix, which measures the density of important features in the visual stimulus. It then identifies clusters of these features using spatial clustering techniques. Based on these clusters, the device calculates a cognitive load score, which represents the mental effort required to process the visual stimulus. Finally, the device can modify the design of the visual stimulus to adjust its cognitive load score.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus comprises at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The at least one processing device is configured to obtain an information density matrix for an input visual stimulus, the information density matrix characterizing information density of feature points in the input visual stimulus, and to identify one or more clusters of feature points in the input visual stimulus by performing spatial clustering of the feature points utilizing the information density matrix. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine a cognitive load score for the input visual stimulus based at least in part on the identified one or more clusters of feature points, the cognitive load score characterizing cognitive energy required to mentally process the input visual stimulus. The at least one processing device is further configured to modify a design of the input visual stimulus to adjust the cognitive load score of the input visual stimulus.
