contents Researchers have been using simulation-based methods for drone-assisted inspection training. Multiple brain regions are associated with information processes and decision-making, and the connectivity of these regions may further influence inspectors' performance. However, researchers do not understand the pathways of the information flows when drone pilots process the maintenance and manipulation of information, which may affect the efficiency of tacit knowledge transfer. This study aims to reveal the causal connection between participants' brain regions using an electroencephalogram and dynamic causal modeling when processing drone-assisted building energy audit tasks using different display modalities. The results showed similar single-direction connectivity patterns for the different simulation groups. The results also showed similar patterns between brain regions related to visual inspection performance before and after training. These findings highlight the nature of brain asymmetries and may be utilized in measuring cognitive states and designing adaptive automation in the knowledge transfer of drone-based inspection.
