Fatigue: An Overview
1. Acute Sleep Deprivation 2. Chronic Sleep Deprivation 3. Time of Day 4. Sleep inertia
Performance degrades due to time awake
Performance degrades cumulatively with each day that sleep is inadequate Performance is markedly worse during nighttime hours Performance is worse upon awakening.

Reliability/validity is largely unknown in operational conditions Could be abused (Brown, 1997)
a technology that cab potentially enhance safety and save lives should not be prejudged based on speculations about users ethics, whether realistic or exaggerated Dinges & Maillis, 1998. p.210

Development of Technologies
Four major steps of technology development:
2) Technology development
What to validate the technology against? Adequacy of the validation data threshold setting. REQUIREMENTS
Validity Concurrent Validity Predictive Validity Reliability Generalisability Sensitivity Specificity
Does it measure what it is supposed to measure? Does the technology convey the same level of fatigue as another known measure at the same point in time? Does the technology predict a level of fatigue at a future point in time? Does the technology show consistent outcomes under similar conditions Does the technology measure the outcome in every individual How often will the technology miss detecting a fatigue event? How often will the technology give an alarm that is false?

Peer reviewed publication following the 2008 fatigue review Three ocular based fatigue detection trialled. NOT IDENTIFIED. Strong links to lane deviation, although for excessive fatigue, the association becomes problematic. Major problems = 1) lack of identifiable outputs 2) Large inter- and intra-individual differences 3) Error rates higher for detecting fatigue compared to EEG

Cajochen et al. 1999. Ocular & EEG correlates over 40h awake.
The crosscorrelation analyses between EEG power density in selected frequency bands and psychomotor vigilance performance demonstrate that frontal EEG power density in the slowwave and theta bands are most highly correlated with changes in performance.
