Attention and Brain Function Monitor for Elderly Drivers

老年驾驶员注意力和脑功能监测仪

基本信息

项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Elderly drivers have a higher fatality rate per mile driven than any group other than males under 25. Relative to those younger drivers, whose accidents are often due to inexperience or risky behaviors, accidents that involve elderly drivers are frequently related to inattention or slowed responses, especially in individuals experiencing side effects from medications or who have chronic health conditions that might affect performance. Given the rapidly increasing proportion of elderly drivers in the population, the issue of motor vehicle accidents in this group is becoming a major public health concern and an important topic for research directed towards better understanding of its causes and at minimizing its consequences. This project aims to develop an enabling technology that will help to fill a crucial current void in knowledge about the brain function of elderly drivers. In particular, progress in the development of methods for brain function monitoring during human-computer interaction has led to the creation of sensitive, highly automated, EEC-based methods suitable for measuring neurophysiologic signals of cognition in adult subjects operating complex, computer-based systems. This project will attempt to generalize such methods to enable brain function monitoring in elderly subjects during simulated driving. Phase I will determine the scientific and technical feasibility of the proposed system. In particular, leveraging our success in other recent projects, we plan to evaluate key remaining scientific and signal processing issues related to use of such methods in the elderly, and to design a prototype measurement device that would be implemented and tested in Phase II. The proposed system would enable cost-effective large scale research studies of how an elderly person's attention is engaged and maintained during different types of driving scenarios, and the patterns of neurophysiologic activity most likely to be associated with accidents or unstable performance. The same underlying signal processing technology could be used to evaluate and refine therapeutic interventions aimed to improve attention and alertness during driving. Given the important role that the ability to operate a motor vehicle often plays in helping seniors to maintain independence and a high quality of life, there is likely to be a significant market for such technology.
描述(由申请人提供):老年驾驶员每英里驾驶的死亡率比25岁以下的男性都高。相对于那些年轻的驾驶员,他们的事故通常是由于经验不足或危险行为,涉及老年驾驶员的事故通常与不注意力或副作用相关,尤其是对副作用的人,可能会影响良好的健康状况或可能会影响过绩效的人。鉴于人口中老年驾驶员比例迅速增加,该组中的机动车事故问题正成为一个主要的公共卫生问题,也是一个针对更好地理解其原因并最大程度地减少其后果的研究的重要主题。该项目旨在开发一种有助于技术的技术,该技术将有助于填补有关老年驾驶员大脑功能的关键当前空隙。特别是,在人类计算机相互作用过程中开发用于大脑功能监测方法的进展已导致创建敏感的,高度自动化的基于EEC的方法,适用于测量成人受试者的神经生理学信号,以操作基于计算机,计算机的系统。该项目将试图概括此类方法,以在模拟驾驶过程中对老年受试者进行大脑功能监测。第一阶段将确定拟议系统的科学和技术可行性。特别是,我们计划在其他最近的项目中取得成功,我们计划评估与老年人使用此类方法有关的剩余科学和信号处理问题,并设计一种原型测量设备,该设备将在II期中实施和测试。拟议的系统将对在不同类型的驾驶场景中如何参与和维持的老年人的注意力以及神经生理活动的模式最有可能与事故或不稳定的表现有关。相同的基础信号处理技术可用于评估和完善旨在提高驾驶过程中注意力和机敏性的治疗干预措施。鉴于重要的作用是操作汽车的能力通常在帮助老年人保持独立性和高质量生活方面发挥作用,因此这种技术可能会有一个重要的市场。
