Single Trial Classification of Neural Correlates of Anticipatory Behavior during Real Car Driving

Introduction: Anticipation of events such as changes in traffic light signals and preparing to brake or accelerate are critical behaviors during driving. Smart vehicles, equipped with on-board Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), could decode the driver's intention to perform an action from his brain activity, thus, enable a possibility to enrich the interaction between the car and its driver [1]. We investigated on the existence and single trial detection of neural correlates of anticipatory behavior [2] in response to traffic lights during real world driving. This can be beneficial in the prediction of the driver’s movement intention through neural correlates of anticipatory behavior.
