Movement Sensing Opportunities for Monitoring Dynamic Cognitive States by Tad T. Brunyé, James McIntyre, Gregory I. Hughes, Eric L. Miller

“…In the context of military training and operations, there are no generally accepted methods for classifying transient mental states such as uncertainty from movement-related data, despite its importance for shaping decision-making and behavior. To fill this gap, an example data set is presented including optical motion capture of rifle trajectories during a dynamic marksmanship task that elicits variable uncertainty; using machine learning, we demonstrate that features of weapon trajectories capturing the complexity of motion are valuable for classifying low versus high uncertainty states. …”
