Cognitive stress

The cognitive stress metric responds to both the difficulty of a game and the level of urgency you feel while completing the game. . The more mentally demanding a game is for you, the greater the cognitive load required to complete it, which means your cognitive stress will be higher. As cognitive stress increases, a certain threshold is met where your performance decreases. The algorithm for cognitive stress was built using a range of mental arithmetic tasks of differing complexity, both with and without time constraints.
