Abstract (EN): Eye blinking has been documented as a measure related to cognition and as an indicator of fatigue. The aim of the present study was to verify the influence of fatigue and/or mental load in eye blinking and the monitoring techniques used. The search was performed over 62 databases through integrated and metasearch methods. A total number of 2253 records were identified and 21 studies were included in the review. These 21 studies refer eye blinking detection. 13 of the 21 included studies examine eye blinking and fatigue; 8 of the 21 included studies examine eye blinking and mental load. The included studies used EEG, EOG, eye tracking and video camera systems as monitoring techniques. The relation of environmental climatic conditions and the use of eye blinking as an indicator are not usually investigated. From all these studies, evidences have revealed that eye blinking is a useful fatigue and mental load indicator. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
