The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for establishing ground truth in human state detection. In one embodiment, the disclosure teaches recording physiological data over a continuous duration of at least a threshold duration that is sufficient for capturing representation of the target state in bio signals used for detection. The recorded data is segmented into shorter analysis windows, as a step toward continuous state detection, each window less than the threshold duration, and labeled with a ground truth indicative of the target state. The windows and labels are stored in non-transitory memory, for later use in training, testing, and validating one or more state prediction models. The method enhances the accuracy of state detection models by providing a more representative ground truth through prolonged recordings, which capture the variable manifestations of human states in physiological processes.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for real-time detection of psychophysiological states from eye movement data. The methods involve capturing eye gaze vectors and eyelid openness levels over time using a user-facing camera. A sequence of discrete eye behaviors, including saccades, fixations, blinks, and long closures, is determined from the eye gaze vectors and eyelid openness levels. The sequence of discrete eye behaviors is transformed into a machine readable representation using a sliding time window. A mathematical or machine learning model then maps the machine readable representation of eye behaviors to one or more psychophysiological states. This approach provides a computationally efficient mechanism for predicting psychophysiological states by compressing gaze data into a continuous, numerical representation of eye behavioral events correlated with human psychophysiological states, including drowsiness, cognitive load, stress, and others.
