Bus Drivers Fatigue Measurement Based on Monopolar EEG

摘要

When people are tired, their conscious activities are sluggish and slow brainwaves predominant in their brains. More specifically speaking, the health of a human body may be affected, and chances of accident may arise due to the lowering of ones' alertness as a result of the reduction of activity in cerebral cortex. In this study, by means of a portable electroencephalograph machine and brain-computer interface, the brainwave of bus drivers were measured for their fatigue quality. The results indicated that through the empirical formula proposed, we were able to measure people's fatigue state with a result comparable to sophisticated medical instrument.
