Wearable neurotechnology for inferring the driver's attention for assistive driving

Inferring a driver's attentive state and visual focus will be critical in future transport systems. This project will develop wearable technology and AI algorithms to infer the location and the degree of a driver's visual attention based on Electroencephalography (EEG) electrodes placed on the driver's head while they driving (real-world and simulated VR environments). This attentional signal can be used, in conjunction with vehicular sensors, for automated decisions at critical moments.
