Abstract: This study proposes a probabilistic model using neural and physiological responses to continuously predict performance during multitasking. Though multitasking performance is known to be time-varying depending on task demand, there is limited research modeling temporal changes in multitasking performance. We applied a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to predict multitasking performance while recording participants' eye movements and electroencephalogram (EEG) band power during the Multi-Attribute Task Battery II task. Our DBN model including multimodal eye movements and EEG band power significantly outperformed DBN models that rely on single physiological responses at an alpha of 0.01. We also found our DBN had significantly higher accuracy than linear regression, decision trees, random forests, and deep neural networks at an alpha of 0.001 based on Wilcoxon's signed-rank tests. Our predictive modeling of multitasking performance has the potential to allow individuals and organizations to anticipate the occurrence and mitigate the impact of multitasking errors.
