Therefore, developing fatigue driving monitoring system is of outmost importance to avoid fatigue-related accidents. Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based continuous monitoring system is one of the effective ways to predict both psychological and physiological fatigue during driving. This system requires driver to wear a fabric cap consisting of many EEG sensors which are battery-powered, small-size and lightweight. The EEG data of driver are continuously monitored and sent to a base station using a special network called a wireless EEG sensor network (WESN). Unfortunately, the network suffers from high communication load due to abundant transmission activities of high-density sensors placed on the small circumference of the human scalp. This article aims to identify the suitable sensor network topology that results in low power data transmission for WESN. The results show that the cluster-based topology performs better compared to far-end and near-end with respect to energy consumption in transmit, received and idle mode, throughput and delay. © 2017 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85044223067&doi=10.1109%2fTENCON.2017.8228159&partnerID=40&md5=167cd6a5236b0a0bde0c5f15c2594dbf id_number: 10.1109/TENCON.2017.8228159 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Region 10 Annual International Conference, Proceedings/TENCON volume: 2017-D pagerange: 1847-1852 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509011339 issn: 21593442 citation: Alam, M.K. and Aziz, A.A. and Awang, A. and Latif, S.A.
