GROUND-BREAKING research is being undertaken by Essex University to uncover mental fatigue levels.
A £1.2 million research project to uncover mental fatigue and lapses in concentration through your eyes.
Members of the university are working alongside an AI based group called Solvemed.
The project will look to uncover how eye movements such as gaze patterns and pupil dilation reflect cognitive processes, through a revolutionary new app.
The Essex team will collaborate with researchers from UK universities and the Solvemed Group to collect and analyse data from nearly 1,400 individuals.
The project will utilise explainable artificial intelligence to assess and predict fatigue levels and offer new insights into how cognitive strain affects behaviour.
Dr Andreu-Perez, project lead and chair of the smart health technologies group within the centre for computational intelligence, said: “This project represents a significant advancement in the UK's scientific efforts in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI).
“HCAI is an emerging AI research paradigm that has been gaining momentum in recent years, emphasising humanised AI-driven methodologies and analytics designed to enhance humans or human systems.
“EyeWarn places a strong emphasis on enhancing our understanding and monitoring of human factors such as fatigue and its effects on the body through the eye."
