- The objective of this study was to compare the development of sleepiness during manual driving versus level 2 partially automated driving, when driving on a motorway in Sweden. The hypothesis was that partially auto-mated driving will lead to higher levels of fatigue due to underload. Eighty-nine drivers were included in the study using a 2 ? 2 design with the conditions manual versus partially automated driving and daytime (full sleep) versus night-time (sleep deprived). The results showed that night-time driving led to markedly increased levels of sleepiness in terms of subjective sleepiness ratings, blink durations, PERCLOS, pupil diameter and heart rate. Partially automated driving led to slightly higher subjective sleepiness ratings, longer blink durations, decreased pupil diameter, slower heart rate, and higher EEG alpha and theta activity. However, elevated levels of sleepiness mainly arose from the night-time drives when the sleep pressure was high. During daytime, when the drivers were alert, partially automated driving had little or no detrimental effects on driver fatigue. Whether the negative effects of increased sleepiness during partially automated driving can be compensated by the positive effects of lateral and longitudinal driving support needs to be investigated in further studies.

- Eye trackers are sometimes used to study the miniature eye movements such as drift that occur while observers fixate a static location on a screen. Specifically, analysis of such eye-tracking data can be performed by examining the temporal spectrum composition of the recorded gaze position signal, allowing to assess its color. However, not only rotations of the eyeball but also filters in the eye tracker may affect the signal's spectral color. Here, we therefore ask whether colored, as opposed to white, signal dynamics in eye-tracking recordings reflect fixational eye movements, or whether they are instead largely due to filters. We recorded gaze position data with five eye trackers from four pairs of human eyes performing fixation sequences, and also from artificial eyes. We examined the spectral color of the gaze position signals produced by the eye trackers, both with their filters switched on, and for unfiltered data. We found that while filtered data recorded from both human and artificial eyes were colored for all eye trackers, for most eye trackers the signal was white when examining both unfiltered human and unfiltered artificial eye data. These results suggest that color in the eye-movement recordings was due to filters for all eye trackers except the most precise eye tracker where it may partly reflect fixational eye movements. As such, researchers studying fixational eye movements should be careful to examine the properties of the filters in their eye tracker to ensure they are studying eyeball rotation and not filter properties.
