Abstract
In digitalized plants, control room operators experience cognitive overload, and literature emphasizes that multimodal physiological integration can better capture operators’ cognitive states. In chemical process operations, current methods often overlook cross-modal interactions. This study used a formaldehyde production simulation with 42 participants exposed to failure scenarios, assessing performance by recovery time and plant status. A novel framework for multimodal physiological integration is proposed, modeling high/low levels of eye-based, skin-related, and cardiovascular metrics using Gaussian distributions. Unique combinations of these metrics are formed, and the overlapping coefficient (OVL) is computed to identify consistent physiological combinations across participants. High-OVL combinations appeared in all optimal, 79% of good, and were negligible in the poor class. Successful participants exhibited distinct cognitive strategies, from low-arousal focus to high-arousal compensation. The Bayesian network estimated participants’ performance-level probabilities, achieving 91% accuracy and robustness to missing data. The framework supports reflective learning, supervisory support, and adaptive training systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
