EEG-Based Mental Workload Assessment During Real Driving
Car driving is considered a very complex activity, consisting of different main tasks and subtasks. For this reason, in particular situations the cognitive demand on the driver can be very high, and this large mental workload decreases performance and increases the probability of error commission. In this preliminary study a workload index based on electroencephalography (EEG), i.e., brain activity of eight drivers in real traffic conditions, is validated.
