This study compares pilot workload under continuous multi-task control and sparse event vigilance in highly automated flight contexts. Behavioral, ocular, and EEG measures reveal distinct workload profiles. While continuous control leads to performance degradation, sparse vigilance induces sustained anticipatory readiness, reflected in neural dynamics despite improved behavioral efficiency.
