  • Method and system for determining the intention of a user of a vehicle to brake or accelerate
    Patent number: 11612343
    Abstract: A method for determining the intention of a user of a vehicle to brake or accelerate, comprising: acquiring (100) a plurality of EEG signals on the user, applying (101) a predetermined spatial filter on the plurality of EEG signals so as to obtain a target EEG component, detecting (102) a spectral pattern in the EEG component corresponding to an intention to brake or detecting a phase pattern in the EEG component corresponding to an intention to accelerate.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A DRIVING INTENTION OF A USER IN A VEHICLE USING EEG SIGNALS
    Publication number: 20210093241
    Abstract: A method for determining a driving intention of a user in a vehicle using electroencephalography (EEG) signals, comprising: acquiring (100) a plurality of EEG signals on a user in the vehicle, determining (101, . . . , 104) a plurality of features of the EEG signals, for each feature of the EEG signals, performing (111, . . . , 114?) a respective preliminary soft classification process, so as to obtain a plurality of preliminary soft predictions of driving intention each based on a feature of the EEG signals, performing (120) a soft classification process based on the plurality of preliminary soft predictions so as to obtain the driving intention of the user.
