Title:
Objective Quantitative Evaluation of Multidimensional Mental Fatigue based on EEG Signals

Abstract:
High-intensity cognitive activities are prone to mental fatigue and significantly impair an individual’s cognitive behavioural ability, manifested as delayed responses during task execution, and its subjective perception lag may lead to serious consequences, even life-threatening. Therefore, a timely and accurate evaluation and analysis of the fatigue state with the help of objective indicators is essential. This study utilizes the advantage of millisecond-level neural electrical activity monitoring of electroencephalography (EEG) and combines the robust feature screening mechanism and the dynamic weight allocation strategy to construct a quantitative evaluation model for fatigue state based on time-frequency-spatial multidimensional feature fusion, aiming to explore fatigue evaluation indicators with significant recognition ability and cross-individual robustness, further improving the generalization performance of quantitative evaluation of mental fatigue.
