The main focus of the Neurocalm is to help manage the emotional part of the driving activity which can often lead to bad decision making and by doing so change the behaviour of the driver.
We aim to achieve this goal by measuring the mental state of the driver using the Neurocalm in conjunction with the METR (management of emotions through thoughts restructuring).
This method of relaxation in conjunction with the NeuroCalm will help the subject to analyse its emotional responses during driving.
NeuroCalm has been conceived to promote self-realisation of the consequences of emotional driving on daily decision making. By using NeuroCalm the driver is put in a state of stress and tension closely resembling the natural mindset that any driver has while driving his vehicle. While on the simulator the driver is linked to the Neurofeedback. This tool records brain waves demonstrating the subject’s state of mind at any given moment and represents positive, neutral or negative emotional states.
By being self-aware of our own mistakes we are introduced naturally to the concept of a system that we all navigate through, drivers and pedestrians alike, the management of that system is put to the test on a daily basis.
