Title: | An eeg based study of unintentional sleep onset | Authors: | YEO VEE MIN, MERVYN | Keywords: | EEG, drowsy, driving, SVM, eyeblinks, alert | Issue Date: | 20-Aug-2008 | Citation: | YEO VEE MIN, MERVYN (2008-08-20). An eeg based study of unintentional sleep onset. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The research objective is to effectively detect driver drowsiness by (1) identifying characteristic EEG differences between voluntary recumbent and involuntary sleep onset, (2) establishing an automatic method of distinguishing between alert and drowsy states by Support Vector Machines (SVM), (3) constructing a Driver Drowsiness Index (DDI) to develop a reliable drowsiness detection system.Recumbent sleep tests, day and night driving simulations were conducted on thirty subjects. Alert and drowsy EEG data segments were marked and used to train binary and multi-class SVM tools using a distinguishing criterion of four frequency features across four principal frequency bands. Vertex sharpness was significantly sharper and triple conjoined vertex waves only occurred during voluntary recumbent sleep onset. A conjoined vertex spindle waveform was statistically associated with driving sleep onset. SVM binary-class classification between alertness and drowsiness achieved 99.3%. The DDI classified the sleep onset process into 5 levels, achieving 77.2% accuracy by SVM multi-class classification. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/16110 |
