Abstract
A driver support system of a vehicle that includes a neuroimaging sensor and a positioning sensor, the neuroimaging sensor detects neurological signals of an occupant and the positioning sensor detects a position of the occupant. The neuroimaging sensor is configured to be positioned within the vehicle distally from the occupant. The system further includes a processor and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executed by the processor to generate a brainwave map based on the neurological signals, calibrate the brainwave map based on the position of the occupant, and determine a mental state of the occupant based on the calibrated-brainwave map. The processor further actuates vehicle support control in response to determining the mental state of the occupant.
