Drivers’ EEG Responses to Different Distraction Tasks

Abstract Driver distraction has been deemed a major cause of traffic accidents. However, drivers’ brain response activities to different types have not well investigated. The purpose this study is investigate the electroencephalography (EEG) tasks. In conducted simulation tests, three secondary tasks (i.e., clock task, 2-back and navigation task) are designed induce driver distractions. Twenty-four participants recruited for differences in concerning results show that comprehensive more significant than single cognitive distraction. Friedman test post hoc two-tailed Nemenyi further identify band among regions. theta energy frontal lobe significantly higher other regions distracted driving, whereas alpha temporal decreases compared These provide theoretical references development detection systems based on EEG signals.
