Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and system for acquiring and analyzing biosignals or physiological signals of a person sitting in a vehicle and predicting (in real-time) time-varying attention, engagement level or alertness level using the biosignals. The biosignals may be acquired using one or more clusters of electrodes together with a wearable user device or from a sensing device that is embedded in the seat of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the biosignals may be utilized to predict restedness level of the subject, to monitor or predict physiological state of the subject, to detect a distress situation and to adapt a vehicle control accordingly. In some other embodiments, the biosignals can be transformed into communication, for example, speech signals or instructions for the vehicle. One or more actions may be triggered based on the analysis of the biosignals including engaging the person, generating alerts, or adapting the vehicle control.
