摘要:
There is provided a technology for grasping a biological state of a driver more accurately. The present invention has a hypnagogic symptom phenomenon detecting means 621, an imminent sleep phenomenon detecting means 622, a subjective sleepiness/low consciousness traveling state detecting means 623, and a homeostasis function level determining means 624, which are configured to function in parallel. Therefore, detection of a hypnagogic symptom phenomenon or an imminent sleep phenomenon, or detection of a period resisting a light sleepiness (mild sleepiness) or a strong sleepiness which occurs consciously, or the case where a low consciousness traveling state due to a decrease in consciousness level momentarily occurs or the case where it occurs longer continuously, or the like, can be determined/detected by the respective means, and the driver's biological state can be determined more accurately than conventional ones.
摘要:
With a simple structure, to make it possible to detect a head biological signal that reflects the state of cerebral blood flow, and to make it possible to assess a sleep stage based on a variation in the cerebral blood flow. A head biological signal detection sensor (10) is supported on the head using a sensor support member (20) such that a connecting yarn sags to make an interval between a pair of facing ground knitted fabrics in a three-dimensional knitted fabric (11) narrower than that under no load. With this configuration, microvibration occurring in yarns and fibers forming the three-dimensional knitted fabric of the head biological signal detection sensor or in other places due to head movement resulting from body motion or the like generates stochastic resonance, which makes it possible to detect a head biological signal.
