title: The effect of sonification display pulse rate and reliability on operator trust and perceived workload during a simulated patient monitoring task.
abstract: The present study investigated the effects of sonification pulse rate and sensor reliability on operator trust and mental workload. Processing resources and operator trust were sensitive to both pulse rate and sensor reliability. These findings suggest that setting pulse rates to 60 pulses per min may have considerable benefits in critical task environments.
