“…Deeper understanding of the factors that influence driver behavior would help to design systems that increase safety by predicting human faults. Music is definitely an important factor concerning the behavior of a driver [17]; however, its impact is rarely subject to investigation. The reason for this is that the influence of music is quite complicated and highly individual.…”

The attention level of car drivers is affected by many factors. Music is one of the most importantones, but its effect is rarely studied. Music can affect driving style in both positive and negative ways, as itcan reduce fatigue but also increase the level of distraction or aggression. This article presents anexperimental investigation of the effects of music on driver attention level. Several measurements on avehicle simulator were done to collect data that demonstrates the relationship between music and theperformance of the car driver. The simulation measured performance under three conditions - relaxationmusic, rock music and silence. Additionally, the measurements were repeated in both fresh and tired states.The results are, in some aspects, different from our expectations - for example, relaxation music improvedreaction time but also correlated with a higher occurrence of inappropriate steering actions. Deeperunderstanding of how the music and noise affect the driver’s actions and decisions will help to improveroad safety and reduce the probability of accidents

“…It was also found to enhance the mind-wandering activities associated with DMN ( Taruffi et al, 2017 ). During long-range real-road driving tests, slow-tempo music can temporarily boost a driver’s quality of attention; after an extended period of driving, it significantly deteriorates the driver’s levels of energy and attention ( Li et al, 2019 ).…”

Music tempo is closely connected to listeners’ musical emotion and multifunctional neural activities. Music with increasing tempo evokes higher emotional responses and music with decreasing tempo enhances relaxation. However, the neural substrate of emotion evoked by dynamically changing tempo is still unclear. To investigate the spatial connectivity and temporal dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) of musical emotion evoked by dynamically changing tempo, we collected dynamic emotional ratings and conducted group independent component analysis (ICA), sliding time window correlations, and k-means clustering to assess the FNC of emotion evoked by music with decreasing tempo (180–65 bpm) and increasing tempo (60–180 bpm). Music with decreasing tempo (with more stable dynamic valences) evoked higher valence than increasing tempo both with stronger independent components (ICs) in the default mode network (DMN) and sensorimotor network (SMN). The dFNC analysis showed that with time-decreasing FNC across the whole brain, emotion evoked by decreasing music was associated with strong spatial connectivity within the DMN and SMN. Meanwhile, it was associated with strong FNC between the DMN–frontoparietal network (FPN) and DMN–cingulate-opercular network (CON). The paired t-test showed that music with a decreasing tempo evokes stronger activation of ICs within DMN and SMN than that with an increasing tempo, which indicated that faster music is more likely to enhance listeners’ emotions with multifunctional brain activities even when the tempo is slowing down. With increasing FNC across the whole brain, music with an increasing tempo was associated with strong connectivity within FPN; time-decreasing connectivity was found within CON, SMN, VIS, and between CON and SMN, which explained its unstable valence during the dynamic valence rating. Overall, the FNC can help uncover the spatial and temporal neural substrates of musical emotions evoked by dynamically changing tempi.

“…Li et al analyzed the influence of music rhythm on driver fatigue and attention quality in a long-distance monotonous highway environment. The study showed that middle-speed music was the best choice to relieve fatigue and maintain long-distance driving attention [19].…”

In the present work, we propose the multi-acupoint electrical stimulation (stimulating the Láogóng point (劳宫PC8) and acupuncture points on waist, shoulders, buttocks of the human body) combined with music conditioning (MESCMC) to alleviate driving fatigue. In our study, the complexity of α and β rhythms of EEG of the drivers, the relative power spectrum of θ and β, as well as two relative power spectrum ratio θ/β and (θ+α)/(α+β) are used as fatigue features during driving. The features of the complexity, which can effectively reflect brain activity information, were used to detect the change of driving fatigue over time. Combined with the traditional relative power spectrum features, the changes in driving fatigue features were comprehensively analyzed. The results show that the MESCMC method can effectively alleviate the mental fatigue of drivers. Besides, compared with the single-acupoint electrical stimulation[only stimulating the Láogóng point (劳宫PC8)] (SES) method, the MESCMC method is more effective in relieving driving fatigue.The mitigation equipment is low in cost and practical, and the MESCMC method is individualized and improves the universality of driving fatigue detection and relieve, so will be practical to use in actual driving situations in the future.
