Study on the Reliability of Music as a Stimuli Focus During Driving by using Event Related Potential (original) (raw)

Focus on the definition of physiology in one of several instances of concurrent ideas requires the possession of the mind which means to dispose of certain items to effectively handle others. In order to avoid road collisions, concentrating on driving is very necessary. In this study, drivers' focus was analyzed by their driving performance recorded by N170 wave of electrical evoked potential and driving score from the simulator. Subjects were stimulated by the radio talk, music and no sound (silent) in three separate recordings. The results show that music did not help to keep the driver's focus on the road. This finding could be useful for a long-distance traveller as well as to develop a methodology to avoid the focus deficit while driving.
