Abstract :
Length of vigilance is a major obstacle in jobs associated with low levels of arousal. To provide the highest levels of safety, the level of attention, particularly visual awareness, has to be monitored. A system has been designed, offline, as a precedent to a real-time awareness predictor. The electroencephalograph (EEG) is used as the major predictive data with a radial basis function network classifying the attention level
