Mental or Cognitive fatigue (CF) is the exhaustion of neurological system brought on by prolonged cognitive tasks. It causes performance to decline in day-to-day life. Throughout this paper, we present an experimental setup where artificially induce participants. During process, collected electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from subjects that participated experiment. The goal study detect presence absence fatigue. Our proposed solution was able classify with accuracy 88.17%.
Cognitive Fatigue (CF) is the decline in cognitive abilities due to prolonged exposure mentally demanding tasks. In this paper, we used gait cycle analysis, a biometric method related human locomotion identify fatigue individuals. The proposed system paper takes two asynchronous videos of individuals classify if they are cognitively fatigued or not. We leverage pose estimation library OpenPose, extract body keypoints from frames videos. To capture spatial and temporal information cycle,...
