    This study introduces a novel transformer model for classifying human attention levels using real-world Electroencephalography (EEG) data. The method achieves 87.37% accuracy, advancing cognitive monitoring and brain-computer interface applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Machine Learning
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Accurate detection of human attention is crucial for productivity and cognitive neuroscience research.
    • Existing Electroencephalography (EEG) studies often lack real-world applicability due to controlled lab environments.
    • There is a need for feasible and scalable methods for attention detection in daily work settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel classification method for identifying six distinct human attention levels.
    • To assess the efficacy of a multi-head attention transformer model using real-world, single-channel EEG data.
    • To bridge the gap between laboratory-based EEG studies and practical, real-world attention monitoring applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected single-channel EEG data from employees during their daily work activities.
