Abstract A prolonged period of cognitive performance often leads to mental fatigue, a psychobiological state that increases the risk of injury and accidents. Previous studies have trained machine learning algorithms on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data to detect fatigue in order to prevent its consequences. However, the results of these studies cannot be generalised because of various methodological issues including the use of only one type of cognitive task to induce fatigue which makes any predictions task-specific. In this study, we combined the datasets of three experiments each of which applied different cognitive tasks for fatigue induction and trained algorithms that detect fatigue and predict its severity. We also tested different time window lengths and compared algorithms trained on resting and task related data. We found that classification performance was best when the support vector classifier was trained on task related HRV calculated for a 5-min time window (AUC = 0.843, accuracy = 0.761). For the prediction of fatigue severity, CatBoost regression showed the best performance when trained on 3-min HRV data and self-reported measures (R 2 = 0.248, RMSE = 17.058). These results indicate that both the detection and prediction of fatigue based on HRV are effective when machine learning models are trained on heterogeneous, multi-task datasets.
Matuz et al. (Mon,) conducted a observational in Mental fatigue (n=85). Machine learning models trained on task-related HRV data vs. Models trained on resting HRV data was evaluated on Detection of mental fatigue (AUC) (AUC 0.843, 95% CI 0.833-0.853, p=0.009). Support vector machine classifiers trained on 5-minute task-related heart rate variability data effectively detected mental fatigue with an AUC of 0.843 and 76.1% accuracy.
