Evaluation of smartphone interactions on drivers' brain function and vehicle control in an immersive simulated environment.

fNIRS parametric GLM analysis outcomes. Conditions were weighted parametrically based ontheir a priori level of distraction. Weighting was as follows: Standard driving < Active GPS alert < Text banneralert < FCR response < OER response. Hot colors indicate positive correspondence of cortical activity to theweighted condition order; Cold colors indicate inverse correspondence of cortical activity to weighted conditionorder.

In this research paper by the Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Science Research group, functional near-infrared spectroscopy was used to examine cortical activity under different smartphone induced driving distractions and what this means to vehicle control.
