Abstract

With advancements in psychology and neuroscience, researchers have increasingly focused on the relationship between mental workload and risk perception. Mental workload can influence an individual's decision-making process when confronted with risk, and eye-tracking technology serves as an effective measurement tool that provides critical insights into individuals' attention allocation and mental workload. This paper aims to review relevant studies and explore how eye-tracking technology can be utilized to measure mental workload and its impact on risk perception.
