Key result
Simulated driving states altered EEG power bands compared to a resting state, with binary machine-learning models showing near-perfect accuracy in distinguishing the two states.
Why the study?
The study aimed to quantify neurological biomarkers using an ambulatory EEG headset during a resting state and two different driving scenarios in a virtual driving environment.
Does driving in different virtual environments alter EEG-based neurological biomarkers compared to a resting state in healthy male drivers?

Does driving in different virtual environments alter EEG-based neurological biomarkers compared to a resting state in healthy male drivers?
EEG-based neurological biomarkers can accurately distinguish between resting and driving states, suggesting potential utility for cognitive workload monitoring in advanced driver-assistance systems.
Hussain et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=17). Simulated driving states (city-roadways and expressway) vs. Resting state was evaluated on Neurological biomarkers (EEG power bands) and machine-learning classification accuracy. Simulated driving states altered EEG power bands compared to a resting state, with binary machine-learning models showing near-perfect accuracy in distinguishing the two states.
