Article Abstract

Drowsiness is among the important factors that cause traffic accidents; therefore, a monitoring system is necessary to detect the state of a driver's drowsiness. Driver monitoring systems usually detect three types of information: biometric information, vehicle behavior, and driver's graphic information. This review summarizes the research and development trends of drowsiness detection systems based on various methods. Drowsiness detection methods based on the three types of information are discussed. A prospect for arousal level detection and estimation technology for autonomous driving is also presented. In the case of autonomous driving levels 4 and 5, where the driver is not the primary driving agent, the technology will not be used to detect and estimate wakefulness for accident prevention; rather, it can be used to ensure that the driver has enough sleep to arrive comfortably at the destination.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT10) score, a screening index for dysphagia, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, which evaluates daytime sleepiness in Japanese workers.

Method: A cross-sectional study of 496 workers (454 men and 42 women) at two business locations in Japan was conducted from November 2021 to June 2022. Dysphagia was assessed using the score of EAT10, a self-administered questionnaire.

Objectives: Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) electrocorticographic (ECoG) data may have a role in objectively assessing the efficacy of add-on antiseizure medications (ASMs). This retrospective, multicenter, observational, 24-week study is the first to report the effects of cenobamate on RNS-detected events (RDE).

Methods: Patients included adults (≥18 years) with a history of recurrent focal seizures and implanted RNS who initiated adjunctive cenobamate ≥ 3 months after RNS implant between 4/1/20-12/15/23 and who received ≥ 2 weeks of cenobamate (≥50 mg/day).

The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a vital physiological signal for monitoring brain activity and understanding neurological capacities, disabilities, and cognitive processes. Analyzing and classifying EEG signals are key to assessing an individual's reactions to various stimuli. Manual EEG analysis is time-consuming and labor-intensive, necessitating automated tools for efficiency.

Driver fatigue is a major contributor to traffic accidents, leading to increased fatality rates and severe damage compared to incidents involving alert drivers. Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a widely used method for detecting driver fatigue due to its ability to capture brain activity patterns. This survey provides a thorough analysis of devices that detect driver fatigue using EEG, analyzing existing methodologies, challenges, and future research directions.

Background: Many children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders struggle with sleep problems that oftentimes stay unaddressed in therapeutic settings due to limited resources. Still, there is evidence that improving insufficient sleep positively affects mental health recovery. Addressing an adequate sleep hygiene is named to be the first line of treatment when it comes to unspecific sleep problems.
