Summary

This document is a formal retraction note issued by the *EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing* in 2022. It addresses the retraction of the original article titled "Application of music in relief of driving fatigue based on EEG signals," which was published in 2021 (DOI: 10.1186/s13634-021-00794-8). The note serves to officially remove the original work from the scientific record and explains the specific reasons for this action. The retraction was initiated by the Editor-in-Chief and the publisher following an investigation into the original article. The investigation revealed significant concerns regarding the integrity of the publication process. Specifically, the article was submitted as part of a guest-edited issue, but the inquiry found evidence of compromised editorial handling and a flawed peer review process. Additionally, the investigation identified issues with the article’s content, including the presence of inappropriate or irrelevant references and the determination that the work was not within the scope of the journal or the specific guest-edited issue. These procedural and content-related failures undermined the validity of the publication. As a direct result of these findings, the Editor-in-Chief stated that they no longer have confidence in the results and conclusions presented in the original article. Consequently, the article was formally retracted. The note also highlights that the authors, Qingjun Wang and Zhendong Mu, did not respond to correspondence regarding the retraction process. The authors are affiliated with Shenyang Aerospace University, Jiangxi University of Technology, and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The significance of this document lies in its role in maintaining the integrity of the scientific literature. By retracting the article, the journal acknowledges that the original findings cannot be relied upon due to the compromised nature of the editorial and peer review processes. This action alerts the scientific community that the specific claims regarding the application of music for relieving driving fatigue based on EEG signals, as presented in the 2021 article, are invalid. The retraction ensures that future research does not build upon flawed or improperly vetted work, thereby upholding the standards of academic publishing. The note stands as a permanent record of the retraction, accessible via the provided DOI, ensuring transparency regarding the status of the original publication.
