The study of the impact of test-based and game-based intellectual workloads on human functional state

Human functional state (FS) diagnostics, as a systemic response of the body under work conditions, has broad practical significance in various fields (medicine, biophysics, psychophysiology, physiology of labor, etc.). In biophysics and applied physiology, the analysis of critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF) is often used as an express-method for these purposes. In this work, an express-diagnostic device for assessing FS (EDD-FS) was used to implement the CFFF method. Test assignments and a computer puzzle game were used as intellectual workloads for the participants. The study results demonstrated that the use of the EDD-FS allows for prompt assessment of a human FS.
