  • Patent number: 11331024
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of processing and analysis of biomedical signals, and provides a calibration method for the critical point of mental fatigue based on self-organized criticality. It constructs a self-organized criticality model by using the dynamic characteristics of a brain network, and deduces the avalanche dynamics of mental fatigue, which is consistent with the internal mechanism of evolution of fatigue complexity. The critical state of calibration is dynamically stable and robust. Through the verification of the behavior data, the reliability of the critical state of mental fatigue determined from physiological and behavioral dimensions is high, providing support for the setting of the fatigue category labels to complete more accurate classification and recognition.
