            Abstract : 
The purpose of this study is to develop a driver´s arousal level preservation system while driving. One of the key issues of this system is to acquire the method of leading a drowsy driver to adequate condition of driving physiologically. In this paper, we examined the efficiency of a feedback stimulation made by driver´s ECG as a fundamental study. The result of the experiment shows that the stimulation has a possibility of restraining parasympathetic nervous activity and it might be useful for the feedback stimulation of the system.
