Vehicle manipulation uses cognitive state engineering. Images of a vehicle occupant are obtained using imaging devices within a vehicle. The one or more images include facial data of the vehicle occupant. A computing device is used to analyze the images to determine a cognitive state. Audio information from the occupant is obtained and the analyzing is augmented based on the audio information. The cognitive state is mapped to a loading curve, where the loading curve represents a continuous spectrum of cognitive state loading variation. The vehicle is manipulated, based on the mapping to the loading curve, where the manipulating uses cognitive state alteration engineering. The manipulating includes changing vehicle occupant sensory stimulation. Additional images of additional occupants of the vehicle are obtained and analyzed to determine additional cognitive states. Additional cognitive states are used to adjust the mapping. A cognitive load is estimated based on eye gaze tracking.
