Many studies have emphasized that pilots' working memory (WM) is highly taxed when following air traffic control (ATC) instructions. Several stressors such as message complexity may negatively impact pilots' ability to execute ATC clearances and jeopardize flight safety. To monitor such cognitive limitation, we adopted a neuroergonomics approach to measure neural correlates of pilots' WM performance in real flight conditions.
