[0002] Visual cognition is the process by which humans acquire, process and understand external information through the visual system, and is one of the important ways for humans to understand the world. In bicycle design, visual feature cognition is of great significance for shaping brand image and conveying product value. By deeply understanding the user's visual cognitive process, the user's aesthetic preferences and needs can be grasped more accurately, so as to design bicycle brand features that are more in line with user expectations. However, traditional bicycle design relies on the designer's intuition and experience, lacks scientific design processes and user feedback mechanisms, and often fails to fully consider the user's visual cognition, resulting in a mismatch between design and user cognition. In the past studies of the current traditional bicycle feature design process, the discussion of bicycle feature design is mostly limited to subjective perceptual analysis, and few studies have used the user's objective eye movement and EEG data to guide the optimization design research of bicycles. The application of eye tracking technology and EEG technology in user experience research is becoming more and more extensive. These two technologies can provide users with intuitive reactions and cognitive states when observing and using products, providing new evaluation and optimization means for product design. Therefore, the present invention proposes a bicycle feature optimization design method based on eye movement and EEG. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the difficulties in the existing technology, the present invention aims to capture the user's visual attention and cognitive response through objective data, overcome the limitations of existing design methods, and form a bicycle feature optimization design method. The bicycle feature optimization design is driven by the user-centered perspective and the objective data of user cognition to ensure that the bicycle features can be more effectively conveyed to consumers. Based on this method, it helps to solve the problem of lack of scientific aesthetic evaluation and user feedback in the existing bicycle feature design, thereby improving the scientificity and rationality of the design. A bicycle feature optimization design method combining eye tracking and electroencephalogram technology is proposed.
[0004] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

The present invention conducts cognitive experiments and recognition experiments on subjects, combines the feature design elements with the highest recognition accuracy, and applies the design elements to bicycle feature design, thereby improving the scientificity and objectivity of the design. The present invention uses eye tracking technology and electroencephalogram technology to obtain direct data on the user's selective attention during the cognitive recognition process, and analyzes the influence of different design elements on the user's cognitive load and brand recognition, forming a user-centered bicycle feature optimization design method, which drives the feature optimization design of bicycle products based on objective data. The implementation of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0042] S1: Target sample image selection and design element extraction
[0043] Determine the sample images of bicycles, and let the designer select the sample images, pre-process the sample images, and use the morphological analysis method to divide the morphological characteristic areas of bicycle products, including 5 morphological characteristic areas, namely: handlebar area, seat area, frame area, wheel group area, sprocket crank area. Figure 2 shown.
[0044] The specific process of preprocessing the sample products in step S1 is as follows: based on the differences in morphological features, sample images with high similarity are removed, and in order to reduce the impact of brand trademarks, colors and sizes on the research, trademarks need to be removed from sample images, and samples with the same background and size need to be processed.
[0045] S2: Subjects perform experimental tasks
[0046] The subject wears an EEG cap, and the subject's position and sitting posture are adjusted, and the subject's head position is corrected so that the eye tracker can accurately capture data; the calibration program is entered, and the subject's eyes follow the red dot on the screen, and the experiment continues after the error reaches the standard; after calibration, the subject presses any key to enter the experiment.
[0047] Cognitive experimental paradigms include:
[0048] Experimental rules: Before the experiment, inform the subjects to observe and remember the details of the bicycle as comprehensively as possible, and inform them that there will be a brand recognition test experiment for each model later;
[0049] Cognitive experiment steps: calibration - display the brand and model name for 5000ms - display the central focus cross for 3000ms - randomly display two perspective pictures of the model in sequence, each picture for 8000ms - repeat the above steps until all models are recognized;
[0050] The brand identity experimental paradigm includes:
[0051] Calibration—display the center focus for 3000ms—randomly display bicycle pictures—subjects judge the bicycle brand and model. The pictures are displayed for up to 10000ms, and then automatically enter the brand judgment questionnaire—repeat the above steps until all pictures are recognized.
[0052] S3: Use eye tracking and EEG equipment to collect users’ eye movement data and EEG data when observing different bicycle designs, and collect eye movement indicators and EEG indicators that are more significantly related to feature design recognition
[0053] The sample images screened and processed in the above step S1 are subjected to eye movement and EEG experimental tests, and the eye movement data and EEG data of several subjects in the process of performing the experimental tasks are collected through the eye tracker and EEG cap to obtain eye movement evaluation indicators and EEG signal indicators, and then the eye movement data and EEG signal data are subjected to multifactor variance analysis to obtain indicators that are more significantly related to the design elements.
[0054] Among them, eye movement data include: average pupil diameter, AOI first fixation time, AOI fixation duration, and fixation heat map.
[0055] The frequency domain data of the EEG signal includes: EEG frequency domain signal.
[0056] Among them, eye movement indicators related to cognitive load and attention include: average pupil diameter.
[0057] Among them, EEG signal indicators related to cognitive load and attention include: Alpha waves and Beta waves.
[0058] Among them, the eye movement indicators related to morphological characteristics and recognition order include: AOI first fixation time, AOI fixation duration, and fixation heat map.
[0059] Among them, the behavioral data includes recognition completion time and recognition completion speed.
[0060] The evaluation dimensions of feature recognition difficulty include error rate / accuracy rate and completion rate; the error rate is the number of recognition errors during the completion of the experimental task, and the accuracy rate is obtained by converting the error rate. The higher the error rate, the higher the recognition difficulty, and vice versa, the higher the accuracy rate, the lower the recognition difficulty; the higher the accuracy rate, the more the design features can be recognized by the subjects, and the better the brand recognition.
[0061] The evaluation dimensions of feature recognition difficulty include recognition completion time, recognition completion speed and attention load; the recognition completion time is the time it takes for the subject to complete the recognition experimental task. The longer the recognition completion time is, the higher the recognition difficulty is, and the shorter the task completion time is, the lower the recognition difficulty is.
[0062] S4: Optimize the bicycle feature design based on the eye movement index and EEG index
[0063] The collected eye movement and EEG indicators are analyzed through professional software to obtain the key design elements of feature design. Based on the data analysis results, the user's response to different design features is analyzed, and the color, pattern, shape and other feature designs of the bicycle are adjusted to optimize the design. Through iterative testing and user feedback, the design is further refined and optimized to increase the brand recognition of the bicycle, including:
[0064] Based on the subjects' average pupil diameter, EEG Alpha and Beta waves, the subjects' cognitive load and attention to different feature designs were analyzed to obtain the recognition importance of design elements and adjust the importance ranking of each feature design element.
[0065] According to the AOI gaze sequence of the subjects on each morphological feature area of the bicycle, the recognition order of the subjects on the morphological feature areas of the bicycle is obtained. The AOI gaze sequence is obtained by sorting the AOI first gaze time of the subjects on the morphological feature areas of the bicycle, thereby obtaining the recognition order of the subjects on the morphological feature areas of the bicycle, and finally sorting the design importance of the bicycle feature areas according to the recognition order.
[0066] According to the proportion of the subjects' AOI gaze time to each morphological feature area and the AOI first gaze time, the characteristic key identification area of the first bicycle morphological feature design is calculated. Wherein, the AOI gaze time proportion includes extracting the gaze time of the subjects between different morphological feature areas during the execution of the task, and calculating the gaze time data. Afterwards, the morphological feature areas and the subjects' gaze time during the task execution are matched and bound, and the proportion of the subjects' AOI gaze time to the morphological feature areas is calculated and generated. According to the proportion of the subjects' AOI gaze time to the bicycle morphological feature areas and the AOI first gaze time, the characteristic key identification area of the bicycle morphological feature design is obtained by calculation;
[0067] The process of obtaining the feature key recognition area of the first bicycle morphological feature design is calculated based on the proportion of the subjects' AOI fixation time on the bicycle morphological feature area and the AOI first fixation time:
[0068] 401. Obtain the AOI fixation duration ratio D through the following formula: i :
[0069]
[0070] 402. Obtain the standardized fixation time according to the following formula based on the first fixation time:
[0071]
[0072] Among them: T i ′ is the first fixation time and is reverse normalized, that is:
[0073]
[0074] Where: T i Indicates the time point of the first gaze at the i-th AOI area;
[0075] 403. Obtain the comprehensive interest ratio of the AOI region I according to the AOI gaze duration ratio and the standardized gaze time i :
[0076] I i =α·D i +(1-α)·T i ″
[0077] Among them, α is the weight parameter;
[0078] 404. According to the comprehensive interest ratio of each AOI area, a key feature recognition area for bicycle morphological feature design is obtained.
[0079] The feature key identification area of the first bicycle morphological feature design is combined with the gaze heat map to determine the feature key identification area of the second bicycle morphological feature design.
[0080] The design method of adjusting the design elements includes: conducting cognitive experiments and recognition experiments on subjects, combining the characteristic design elements with the highest recognition accuracy, the shortest recognition completion time, and the fastest recognition completion speed, and applying the design elements to the bicycle characteristic design.

Step 2: Collect and process bicycle design drawings, remove trademarks, and process them with the same background and size. Step 3: The subjects conduct cognitive experimental paradigms and brand recognition experimental paradigms, observe different bicycle design schemes, and collect eye movement and EEG data. Step 4: Use eye tracking equipment to record the eye movement trajectory of the subjects when observing the bicycle, including data such as fixation point, fixation time, and fixation point movement path. At the same time, use EEG equipment to record the EEG waveform of the subjects when observing the bicycle, including data such as alpha waves and beta waves. Step 5: Analyze the eye movement data and EEG data collected in the experiment, compare the differences between the experimental picture data, and find out the design elements that have the greatest impact on user cognitive load and brand recognition. Step 6: Combine the characteristic design elements with the highest recognition accuracy and apply the design elements to the characteristic design of the bicycle, including color, shape, pattern, etc. Step 7: Conduct cognitive experiments and recognition experiments on the bicycles designed after optimization and before optimization to verify the effectiveness of the optimized design.
