ERP insights into speed control: role of risk types and levels.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying the inhibitory control of speed when drivers encounter varying levels of risk posed by pedestrians and motor vehicles. Two variables (risk level and risk type) were controlled in this study. The experimental materials included traffic images depicting pedestrians or motor vehicles, each associated with different risk levels. Drivers were presented with these images and tasked with adjusting their vehicle speed according to the traffic scenario. Specifically, they were instructed to either maintain their current speed or decelerate as needed. Electroencephalograms (EEGs) responses were simultaneously recorded. Results showed that in low-risk scenarios, the deceleration score was significantly higher for pedestrian risks than for motor
