Figure 7.

Heatmap graphic displaying Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients between variables including NASA-TLX, Pupil Diameter, LF/HF, Frontal Beta, EI, Blink Rate, RMSSD, Occipital Alpha, and FI. Color scale ranges from negative values in blue to positive values in red, with coefficients and statistical significance marked in the matrix. A vertical color legend bar on the right indicates correlation strength from minus zero point six to one.

Multimodal cross-channel coupling analysis. The lower-triangle heatmap illustrates the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients among the subjective NASA-TLX scores, visual (pupil diameter, blink rate), central (EI, FI, frontal Beta, parieto-occipital Alpha), and autonomic (LF/HF ratio, RMSSD) metrics. Asterisks indicate statistical significance after FDR correction: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
