Literature Review: Impact of Noise on Cognitive Performance Using Electroencephalography

Abstract

One of the environmental factors that can influence the onset of fatigue is noise exposure. Besides noise has a negative impact on everything from cognitive processes to mental and physical health. Noise's impact can be measured using brain activity and the waves it generates. The main goal of this article is to review how electroencephalography can be used to determine the impact of noise on cognitive performance. The method is based on bibliometric analysis stages, including literature study from the Scopus database and the snowball search method. The findings revealed that of the 30 articles examined, 28 used the experimental design method with continuous noise, and 10 used the time-frequency domain for feature extraction. According to the results of the study, there seems to be an increase in the use of EEG for performance measurement, such as mental fatigue, mental workload, working memory, attention, stress, and the presence of noise factors that influence cognitive performance.
