A Complex Network-Based Broad Learning System for Detecting Driver Fatigue From EEG Signals
Y. Yang, Z. Gao, Y. Li, Q. Cai, N. Marwan, J. KurthsDriver fatigue detection is of great significance for guaranteeing traffic safety and further reducing economic as well as societal loss. In this article, a novel complex network (CN) based broad learning system (CNBLS) is proposed to realize an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based fatigue detection. First, a simulated driving experiment was conducted to obtain EEG recordings in alert and fatigue state. Then, the CN theory is applied to facilitate the broad learning system (BLS) for realizing an EEG-based fatigue detection. The results demonstrate that the proposed CNBLS can accurately differentiate the fatigue state from an alert state with high stability. In addition, the performances of the four existing methods are compared with the results of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method outperforms these existing methods. In comparison to directly using EEG signals as the input of BLS, CNBLS can sharply improve the detection results. These results demonstrate that it is feasible to apply BLS in classifying EEG signals by means of CN theory. Also, the proposed method enriches the EEG analysis methods.
