Summary
This study introduces an AI approach to detect cognitive fatigue using biosignals. The EALAI-CFDNBD model achieved 97.59% accuracy, paving the way for better wearable fatigue monitoring.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Artificial Intelligence
- Wearable Technology
Background:
- Cognitive fatigue, stemming from stress, impairs attention and performance.
- Real-world monitoring of cognitive fatigue is vital for managing breaks and performance.
- Existing methods often rely on complex biosignals (EEG, EOG) and AI for pattern recognition.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Exploratory Analysis of Longitudinal Artificial Intelligence for Cognitive Fatigue Detection Using Neurophysiological Based Biosignal Data (EALAI-CFDNBD) approach.
- To detect cognitive fatigue using neurophysiological biosignal data.
- To develop more effective and less intrusive wearable devices for cognitive fatigue tracking.
Main Methods:
- Utilized linear scaling normalization (LSN) for input feature scaling.
- Employed binary olympiad optimization algorithm (BOOA) for feature selection.
- Used a graph convolutional autoencoder (GCA) classifier for fatigue detection.
- Applied multi-objective hippopotamus optimization (MOHO) for hyperparameter tuning.
Main Results:
- The EALAI-CFDNBD model demonstrated high accuracy in detecting cognitive fatigue.
- Experimental validation on the MEFAR dataset yielded a superior accuracy of 97.59%.
- The approach effectively reduced data dimensionality and optimized model hyperparameters.
Conclusions:
- The EALAI-CFDNBD approach shows significant promise for accurate cognitive fatigue detection.
- This AI-driven method can enhance the development of wearable devices for fatigue monitoring.
- The findings have implications for high-demand environments where cognitive performance is critical.
