| Abstract(E) | This study focused on the driver's brain activity in the prediction phase, which is the stage before recognition, and analyzed the effects of superior or inferior brain activity on recognition and driving performance on curved roads through a driving simulator experiment. A circuit course was set up, and changes in cerebral blood flow and gaze distribution were analyzed across 10 corners, together with the average of lane deviation in the first third of each curve. The results showed that activation of the frontal lobe during the prediction phase led to faster curve recognition and reduced lane departure in the curve sections. Overall, it was found that activation of the frontal lobe in the prediction phase improves both curve recognition and driving performance on curved roads. |
