Context

myBrain Technologies, a neurophysiological analysis company, aimed to study the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms involved in both autonomous and manual driving. The goal was to enhance safety for semi-autonomous vehicles.

The study protocol required the development of a VR application to simulate driving scenarios and gather precise data.

Solution

Conseil 3D developed VRxEEG, a VR simulator that utilizes an HTC Vive Pro Eye headset, steering wheel, and pedals.

To collect precise data, the solution integrates with electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors.

Key Features:

  • Eye-tracking to analyze attention zones
  • Alternation between manual and autonomous driving phases
  • Unexpected obstacles to test reflexes
  • A 1-hour drive through varied environments to create a realistic experience

Results

The study involved a sample of over 100 participants.

It successfully gathered a large dataset to better understand drowsiness signals, enabling myBrain Technologies to devise effective strategies for safer autonomous driving.
