1. A passenger seat arrangement for a passenger aircraft, comprising:
a passenger seat assembly having at least one passenger seat;
an electrical energy supply system which has a first electronics housing, in which electrical power converter components are arranged, and a second electronics housing, in which electrical output connections for connecting electronic terminals are arranged; and
a multiplicity of sensors which are assigned to the passenger seat assembly and are coupled to a sensor data interface of the first electronics housing of the electrical energy supply system, wherein the multiplicity of sensors collect passenger-based sensor data,
wherein the electrical energy supply system has a sensor data processing device accommodated within the first electronics housing which is designed to preprocess the passenger-based sensor data acquired from the sensors via the sensor data interface and to forward said preprocessed passenger-based sensor data to a central sensor data evaluation apparatus of the passenger aircraft, and
wherein the multiplicity of sensors comprise an optical sensor installed in a backrest or a passenger service device of the at least one passenger seat which monitors at least one of seat position of the at least one passenger seat and eye movements of a passenger.
