Abstract: With the advancement in mobile/wearable technology, people started to use increasingly a variety of sensing devices to track their daily activities as well as health and fitness conditions in order to improve the quality of life. In addition to the commonly available GPSs tracking locations and accelerometers/gyroscopes monitoring body movements, other state-of-the art sensors can be utilized to capture physiological signals such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and/or electrooculogram (EOG). Such low-level sensor data are a very rich source to deduce high-level information about physical behaviors of a person, his/her mental states (e.g. emotions), or cognitive awareness. This work addresses an idea of eye movement analysis, which due to the strong correlation with cognitive tasks can be successfully utilized in activity recognition. Eye movements are recorded using an electrooculographic (EOG) system built into the frames of glasses, which can be worn more unobtrusively and comfortably than other devices. Since the obtained information is low-level sensor data expressed as a sequence representing values in constant intervals (100Hz), the cognitive activity recognition problem is formulated as sequence classification. However, it is unknown what kind of features are useful for accurate cognitive activity recognition. To overcome this, a codebook approach is adopted where the sequences of recorded EOG data are described by the distribution of characteristic subsequences - codewords, obtained by clustering a large number of subsequences. Further, statistical analysis of the codeword distribution results in the sets of features, which are characteristic to a certain activity class. Experimental results demonstrate good accuracy of the codebook-based cognitive activity recognition reflecting the effective usage of the codewords. Everyone is welcome to attend.
