conclusions the study findings highlight the importance of the mental aspect of fatigue in this working group. these results have possible implications for workers’ health and well-being and for the design of shift work systems, for industrial workers. background shift work is a well-recognized occupational health hazard in both industrialized and industrially developing countries. prolonged wo...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The purpose was to evaluate a new self-reporting scale for assessment of mental fatigue and its usefulness in describing mental fatigue after neurological diseases and injuries. Mental fatigue is suggested to comprise a spectrum of items including sensory, emotional and cognitive symptoms. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Mental fatigue and related symptoms were measured with a self-a...

This project proposes to develop a driver simulator, which takes into account information about the user state of mind (level of attention, fatigue state, stress state). The user’s state of mind analysis is based on video data and physiological signals. Facial movements such as eyes blinking, yawning, head rotations... are detected on video data: they are used in order to evaluate the fatigue a...

The effectiveness of EEG alpha spindles, defined by short narrowband bursts in the alpha band, as an objective measure for assessing driver fatigue under real driving conditions was examined using an algorithm for the identification of alpha spindles. The method is applied to data recorded under real traffic conditions and compared with the performance of the traditional EEG fatigue measure alp...

Background: High rates of medical errors have been documented within the healthcare industry. Fatigue is a factor that has been linked to performance decrements in numerous industries, including healthcare. Due to the nature of their work, nurses may be particularly susceptible to multiple dimensions of fatigue, and their performance is closely linked to patient safety. Objectives: Perceived le...

Mental fatigue is for many a distressing and long-term problem after stroke. This mental fatigue will make it more difficult for the person to return to work and previous activities. The intention with this study is to investigate mental fatigue in relation to depression and cognitive functions. We examined 24 well-rehabilitated stroke subjects, who suffered from mental fatigue one year or more...

The main idea behind this project is to develop a system which can detect drowsiness of the driver and giving an indication in the form of alarm. Since a large number of road accidents occur due to the driver drowsiness, here we are proposing a new transportation system which will reduce the accidents. This system will monitor the driver’s eyes using camera and face detection which is very impo...

It has been shown that the mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation increases perception of effort and reduces performance during subsequent endurance exercise. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these negative effects of mental fatigue are unclear. The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental fatigue exacerbates central fatigue induced by whole-...

This paper describes method for detecting the early signs of fatigue in train drivers. As soon as the train driver is falling in symptoms of fatigue immediate message will be transfer to the control room indicating the status of the drivers. In addition of the advance technology of heart rate sensors is also added in the system for correct detection of status of driver if in either case driver ...
