Mental State Classification Using Multi-Graph Features by Guodong Chen, Hayden S. Helm, Kate Lytvynets, Weiwei Yang, Carey E. Priebe

“…We consider the problem of extracting features from passive, multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) devices for downstream inference tasks related to high-level mental states such as stress and cognitive load. Our proposed feature extraction method uses recently developed spectral-based multi-graph tools and applies them to the time series of graphs implied by the statistical dependence structure (e.g., correlation) amongst the multiple sensors. …”

Car-to-car communication for energy efficiency by Tarn, Willis Rui Seng.

“…The purpose of performing ACTA is to elicit difficult cognitive processes in the task of driving, identify reasons for its difficulty, understand sources of errors and the cues and strategies to prevent such errors and reduce cognitive load. The results will be compiled and summarized into a cognitive-demands table, which will be translated into physical design guidelines for effective implementation of car-to-car communication systems, aimed to reduce cognitive workload and increase driving comfort for both drivers and non-drivers.…”
