<p>  Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of a driver during limit driving condition on a circuit is not as well known as that of daily driving. A recent report demonstrated a significant positive correlation between lap time and β wave activity of the prefrontal cortex during solo driving on a circuit for a professional driver, whereas no significant correlation was found with α wave activity (Haranaka et al., 2010). In order to confirm the results obtained in the report, for 4 male subjects, during the first lap to the best lap, correlations between lap time and EEG activity of the prefrontal cortex while driving solo on a circuit were examined in this study. As a result, regarding correlations between lap time and β wave activity, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.693, p < 0.01), a strong positive correlation (r = 0.812), a weak positive correlation (r = 0.369), and a weak negative correlation (r = -340) were found. Regarding correlations between lap time and β/α, two significant positive correlations (r = 0.930, p < 0.1; r = 0.505, p < 0.05), and a weak positive correlation (r = 0.273) were found. However, no significant correlation was found between lap time and α wave activity. We hypothesize that the activity of the prefrontal cortex may be reflected by β wave activity more than by α wave activity, and the activity of the prefrontal cortex of a driver tends to decrease when the driver shows better driving skills during solo driving on a circuit.</p>
