eDREAM Dataset - a multimodal dataset for driver cognitive load estimation

The eDREAM dataset was created for research on using advanced sensor and vision technologies to assess cognitive loads on drivers.

  • 37 participants completed three driving sessions on a mid-fidelity fix-based simulator, with a different level of cognitive load in each drive.
  • The experiments were conducted with special attention to minimize the perturbation from other uninterested conditions, which facilitated isolation of varying cognitive loads.
  • A comprehensive set of sensors was incorporated, including:
    • Wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) headband
    • Electrocardiography (ECG), Galvanic Skin Responses (GSR) sensors and a respiration band
    • Remote eye-tracker
    • Participant-facing video-racordings
    • Participant-facing color cameras (The non-identifiable portion of the dataset can be available for research purposes.)
