Abstract: Attention in the physiological definition in one of several simultaneous occurrences of ideas takes ownership of the mind which means removing certain stuff to cope efficiently with others. Particular attention is required in driving in order to maintain track of the driver’s vigilance to prevent the road accident. In this study, the driver’s attention is analyzed by their driving performance from both the amplitude and accident rating of Electroencephalographic (EEG). The subjects were stimulated with radio talk, instrumental music and no sound (silent) in three separate recordings. It was found that drivers encounter much fewer accidents while listening to the radio talk compared to the music and worse driving score when driving in silence. This finding could be used as a foundation to develop tips or methodology to avoid the attention deficit while driving.
