In this study, tests of brain waves were carried out to investigate the physiological characteristics of drivers during a change of headlight brightness. The participants were 20 males in their 20s. Twenty-three different conditions combining the waveform of light, voltage, and alteration time were used. The measurement of brain waves was performed by an internationally standardized 10-20 method using LXE3232-RF. The results were as follows. 1. From the results of the brain wave map analysis, it was suggested that waveform A increases mental stress and waveform B affects mental and visual stress. The longer the stimulation time, the more stress level was detected. 2. The voltage alteration time of the B waveform should be kept to less than 1500msec, while the voltage should not fall below 11.5[V].
