Devices and Methods for Fatigue Detection

Abstract

A method for assessing fatigue of a subject is provided. The method includes providing a device comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and a circuit operably coupled to the first and second electrodes, the first and second electrodes configured to detect an electrical activity associated with an eye blink of a subject, and the circuit is configured to process a signal from the first electrode and the second electrode; determining a blink event based on the electrical activity; and assessing a degree of fatigue of the subject, based on the blink event. A headset including circuitry, such as a processor and a memory storing instructions to cause the headset to perform the above method are also provided. Also provided are systems and kits that include the devices. The methods, devices, headsets, systems and kits find use in a variety of different applications.
