Key result
A novel EEG headband with 6 μV measurement error and 50 nV resolution demonstrated that stress-related beta wave power is higher in manual driving compared to autonomous driving algorithms.
Why the study?
Commercial EEG sensor accuracy is often omitted in manuals, and the impact of different autonomous driving algorithms on drivers EEG brain activity had not been compared.

May enable driver stress monitoring; leaves open clinical validation before practice adoption.
A newly developed six-channel EEG headband demonstrated that manual driving elicits higher stress-related beta wave power compared to autonomous driving algorithms in a simulator setting.
Affanni et al. (2022) studied Stress (n=10). Autonomous driving algorithms vs. Manual driving was evaluated on Estimated power of beta waves. A novel EEG headband with 6 μV measurement error and 50 nV resolution demonstrated that stress-related beta wave power is higher in manual driving compared to autonomous driving algorithms.
