Various machine learning classification techniques have been utilized to distinguish cognitive states. However, conventional machine learning methods, although simpler to implement, undergo a complex pre-processing phase before network training and demonstrate reduced accuracy due to inadequate data preprocessing. Additionally, previous research in cognitive load assessment using fNIRS has predominantly focused on differentiating between two levels of mental workload. These studies mainly aim to classify low and high levels of cognitive load or distinguish between easy and difficult tasks. To address these limitations associated with conventional methods, this paper conducts a comprehensive exploration of the impact of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers on the effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) within deep learning models. This is to address the issues related to spatial feature overfitting and the lack of temporal dependencies in CNNs discussed in the previous studies. By integrating LSTM layers, the model can capture temporal dependencies in the fNIRS data, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of cognitive states. The primary objective is to assess how incorporating LSTM layers enhances the performance of CNNs. The experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate that the integration of LSTM layers with convolutional layers results in an increase in the accuracy of deep learning models from 97.40% to 97.92%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers14020073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,17]],"date-time":"2025-02-17T11:31:17Z","timestamp":1739791877000},"page":"73","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Enhancing Cognitive Workload Classification Using Integrated LSTM Layers and CNNs for fNIRS Data Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7380-8532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehshan Ahmed","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Houshyar","family":"Asadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1839-029X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Reza Chalak","family":"Qazani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Sohar University, Sohar 311, Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adetokunbo","family":"Arogbonlo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2974-1801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siamak","family":"Pedrammehr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3916-1381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adnan","family":"Anwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hailing","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, Melbourne, VIC 3122, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8267-0283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6876-1437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asim","family":"Bhatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Oladazimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Burhan","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation, Deakin University, 75 Pigdons Rd, Waurn Ponds, Geelong, VIC 3216, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saeid","family":"Nahavandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swinburne Research, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, Melbourne, VIC 3122, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yin, Y., Chen, S., Song, T., Zhou, Q., and Shao, Y.
