TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Reliability of measuring brain activity to detect driver fatigue in professional drivers JO - Proceedings of the Australasian road safety research, policing and education conference A1 - Craig, A. A1 - Lal, Sara SP - EP - VL - 8 IS - 1 N2 - The aim of the present study was to investigate the reproducibility of the EEG changes during fatigue in professional drivers in order to identify the feasibility of the EEG measure for a fatigue countermeasure device. Twenty professional drivers were assessed during two separate sessions of a driver simulator task. EEG, eye activity and behavioural measurements of fatigue were obtained during the driving task. The results showed significant reproducibility for the EEG delta and theta bands and alpha and beta bands in the drivers. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the delta and alpha magnitudes across the entire brain during the transitional phase to fatigue. Whereas, delta and alpha were found to be more variable. The results have promising implications for the development of an EEG based fatigue countermeasure device.
