It can help in balancing the cognitive load of postlearning and during the actual task. Here, we used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess cognitive load in multimedia learning task. EEG data were collected from 34 human participants at baseline and a multimedia learning state. The analysis was based on feature extraction and partial directed coherence (PDC). Results revealed that the EEG frequency bands and activated brain regions that contribute to cognitive load differed depending on the learning state. We concluded that cognitive load during multimedia learning can be assessed using feature extraction and measures of effective connectivity (PDC). © 2013 IEEE. publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Mazher, M. and Abd Aziz, A. and Malik, A.S. and Ullah Amin, H.
