Abstract

Objective . Covert aspects of ongoing user mental states provide key context information for user-aware human computer interactions. In this paper, we focus on the problem of estimating the vigilance of users using EEG and EOG signals. Approach . The PERCLOS index as vigilance annotation is obtained from eye tracking glasses. To improve the feasibility and wearability of vigilance estimation devices for real-world applications, we adopt a novel electrode placement for forehead EOG and extract various eye movement features, which contain the principal information of traditional EOG. We explore the effects of EEG from different brain areas and combine EEG and forehead EOG to leverage their complementary characteristics for vigilance estimation. Considering that the vigilance of users is a dynamic changing process because the intrinsic mental states of users involve temporal evolution, we introduce continuous conditional neural field and continuous conditional random field models to capture dynamic temporal dependency. Main results . We propose a multimodal approach to estimating vigilance by combining EEG and forehead EOG and incorporating the temporal dependency of vigilance into model training. The experimental results demonstrate that modality fusion can improve the performance compared with a single modality, EOG and EEG contain complementary information for vigilance estimation, and the temporal dependency-based models can enhance the performance of vigilance estimation. From the experimental results, we observe that theta and alpha frequency activities are increased, while gamma frequency activities are decreased in drowsy states in contrast to awake states. Significance . The forehead setup allows for the simultaneous collection of EEG and EOG and achieves comparative performance using only four shared electrodes in comparison with the temporal and posterior sites.

  • Most commercial biometric systems do not provide access to the feature sets nor the raw data which they use in their products.

    “Most commercial biometric systems do not provide access to the feature sets nor the raw data which they use in their products [22].”

    From Fusion of Facial Expressions and EEG for Multimodal Emotion Recognition (2017) · cites this paper as [22]

    The Discussion mentions commercial EEG systems but says nothing about whether they provide access to raw data or feature sets. The Experiment Setup describes access to this study’s dataset, not the access policies of most commercial biometric systems. Searches for commercial-system data and feature access found no passage addressing the claim; page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

  • Zheng and his colleagues presented an emotion recognition method combining EEG signals and pupillary response collected from eye tracker and achieved average accuracies of 73.59% and 72.98% for three emotion states using feature level fusion strategy and decision-level fusion strategy, respectively.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
