Brain Sensing with fNIRS in the Car
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain activity during driving tasks. Functional NIRS is a relatively new brain sensing technology that is portable and noninvasive, making it possible to sense brain activity in environments that would not be possible using most traditional imaging techniques. This provides us with the opportunity to better understand changes in cognitive state during mobile tasks, such as driving. Our research aims to integrate fNIRS into an existing driving test bed and explore signal processing and classification algorithms to study the sensitivity of fNIRS brain sensing to changes in the driver’s workload level in real-time.
