Popis: This work presents a study on users’ attention detection with reference to a relaxed inattentive state using an over-the-clothes radio-frequency (RF) sensor. This sensor couples strongly to the internal heart, lung, and diaphragm motion based on the RF near-field coherent sensing principle, without requiring a tension chest belt or skin-contact electrocardiogram. We use cardiac and respiratory features to distinguish attention-engaging vigilance tasks from a relaxed, inattentive baseline state. We demonstrate high-quality vitals from the RF sensor compared to the reference electrocardiogram and respiratory tension belts, as well as similar performance for attention detection, while improving user comfort. Furthermore, we observed a higher vigilance-attention detection accuracy using respiratory features rather than heartbeat features. A high influence of the user’s baseline emotional and arousal levels on the learning model was noted; thus, individual models with personalized prediction were designed for the 20 participants, leading to an average accuracy of 83.2% over unseen test data with a high sensitivity and specificity of 85.0% and 79.8%, respectively
