Viusal Cues Extraction for Monitoring Driver's Vigilance

Results based on traac accident analysis indicate that a leading cause for automobile accidents is due to a diminished vigilance on the part of the driver. Two major factors that may result in a reduction of a driver's alertness are drowsiness and intoxication. Developing eeective technologies for measuring drowsiness/intoxication is therefore imperative for reducing automobile accidents. The d...

Minimal Invasive Monitoring

Using software monitors to measure embedded or realtime applications is a difficult task because of their impact on code size and execution time. Our approach for a minimal invasive monitor shows how to minimize the impact by adapting the monitor to the monitoring task. We present techniques to reduce the monitor overhead to the most necessary.

Increased Vigilance in Monitoring Others' Mental States During Deception

Communicating false information during social interactions places unique cognitive demands on the speaker. One such demand is the increased need to track what another knows to avoid introducing contradictory information. The present study examines the minimal conditions required for vigilant mental state monitoring by using a game-like task that required participants to respond to virtual partn...
