Experiments have been made to investigate the relationship between the activity level of the brain waves (Electroencehalogram or EEG) of trained professional drivers and untrained people while monotonous tasks. These have been done to improve the safety management of drivers. The purpose of this study is to show how EEG activity changes accoriding to the time spent on monotonous tasks. The results are as follows: in the case of untrained people, grouped α waves appeared frequently; in the professional drivers the slow α wave appeared, but grouped α waves did not appear. It seemes that drowsiness occurs less in professional drivers because of their well-developed self-control.
