The aim of this paper is to present an extensive neurophysiological study of the Air-Traffic-Controllers (ATCOs) during en route Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulations. In other words, the purpose was to extract neurophysiological features suitable for the evaluation of the learning progress and for the real-time estimation of the user's workload level.
