  Abstract
  Mental workload is useful to evaluate performance of a ship's bridge teammate: a captain, a duty officer, a helmsman, and a pilot. The heart rate variability (R-R interval) predicts well based on pre-experiments; however, most of research is to professional's skill. In this paper, we evaluate a cadet's heart rate variability as he guides a ship from a narrow channel to open sea, and consider a simulator training effect. The experiment is carried out using a ship bridge simulator, not a real ship. We show the heart rate variability is good indices for cadet's simulation training evaluation.
