Drivers monitored on track

Drivers had electrodes strapped to their heads during the testing session. The team aimed to quantify the experience of driving a performance car. This setup allowed engineers to gather data on driver response.

Data collected from EVs

The electric vehicles were driven on a closed circuit while sensors recorded neural signals. Researchers analyzed how the brain reacts to high-speed maneuvers in an EV. The project seeks to improve future vehicle designs based on these findings.
