Multimodal Estimation of Change Points of Physiological Arousal in Drivers
Detecting unsafe driving states, such as stress, drowsiness, and fatigue, is an important component of ensuring driving safety and an essential prerequisite for automatic intervention systems in vehicles. These concerning conditions are primarily connected to the driver's low or high arousal levels. In this study, we describe a framework for processing multimodal physiological time-series from wearable sensors during driving and locating points of prominent change in drivers' physiological arousal state. These points of change could potentially indicate events that require just-in-time intervention. We apply time-series segmentation on heart rate and breathing rate measurements and quantify their robustness in capturing change points in electrodermal activity, treated as a reference index for arousal, as well as on self-reported stress ratings, using three public datasets. Our experiments demonstrate that physiological measures are veritable indicators of change points of arousal and perform robustly across an extensive ablation study.

A Physiologically-Adapted Gold Standard for Arousal during Stress
Emotion is an inherently subjective psychophysiological human-state and to produce an agreed-upon representation (gold standard) for continuous emotion requires a time-consuming and costly training procedure of multiple …
Long-Term Variability in Physiological-Arousal Relationships for Robust Emotion Estimation
Estimating emotional states from physiological signals is a central topic in affective computing and psychophysiology. While many emotion estimation systems implicitly assume a stable relationship between physiological f…
