abstract = "Understanding how indoor environment affects office worker's performance and developing methods to predict human performance in changing indoor environment have become highly important research topic bearing significant economic and sociological impact. While past research groups have attempted to find predictors for performance they do not provide satisfactory predictions. We conduct in this paper a study to predict human performance by developing a regression model using neurophysiological signals collected from electroencephalogram (EEG), during simulated office-work tasks under different indoor room temperatures (22°C and 30°C). We found that using brain power spectral densities (PSD) from EEG as predictors provides the higher R2 than predictors using skin temperature or heart rate by approximately over 3 folds. Finally, we showed that the predictor using EEG is more robust than regression models using skin temperature and heart rate. Our work shows the potential of using brain signals to accurately predict human office work performance.",
