Abstract
The EEG signal plays a key role as a nondestructive testing method in the diagnosis and functional determination of the brain. EEG recordings represent changes in alertness, arousal, sleep and cognition. Boredom, fatigue and monotony of a task may induce drowsiness that leads to a decrease in alertness. This can have serious consequences in tasks involving constant vigilance and control such as driving. In the current study, EEG signals are recorded using a car simulator and analyzed using Fractal analysis and Wavelet Transform. It is observed that there is an increase in the alpha frequencies in the latter stages of driving indicating a state of drowsiness. The analysis techniques used provide results quickly, which is essential to provide instant feedback.
