Cognitive state-based vehicle manipulation uses near-infrared image processing. Images of a vehicle occupant are obtained using imaging devices within a vehicle. The images include facial data of the vehicle occupant. The images include visible light-based images and near-infrared based images. A classifier is trained based on the visible light content of the images to determine cognitive state data for the vehicle occupant. The classifier is modified based on the near-infrared image content. The modified classifier is deployed for analysis of additional images of the vehicle occupant, where the additional images are near-infrared based images. The additional images are analyzed to determine a cognitive state. The vehicle is manipulated based on the cognitive state that was analyzed. The cognitive state is rendered on a display located within the vehicle.
