This study monitored computer user stress using physiological signals like Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), and Pupil Diameter (PD). Results show these signals correlate with emotional state shifts during stress-inducing tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Affective Computing
  • Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
  • Physiological Computing

Background:

  • Affective Computing aims to enhance HCI by enabling computers to recognize and respond to user emotional states.
  • Affect recognition, utilizing psychophysiological measures, is foundational for developing affective computing systems.
  • Monitoring user stress levels is crucial for adaptive and responsive human-computer interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of physiological signals for automatic stress level detection in computer users.
  • To develop and report on the hardware, software, and signal processing techniques for stress monitoring.
  • To analyze the correlation between physiological responses and emotional state changes during a cognitive stress task.

Main Methods:

  • Continuous recording of Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), and Pupil Diameter (PD) signals.
  • Implementation of a computer game adapted to induce the Stroop Effect, a cognitive stressor.
  • Application of various data processing techniques to extract stress-related attributes from physiological signals.

Main Results:

  • Physiological signals (BVP, GSR, PD) were continuously recorded during the Stroop Test.
  • Data processing techniques were employed to identify effective stress indicators.
  • Significant similarities were observed among the three physiological signals corresponding to emotional state shifts under stress.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully demonstrated the potential of using BVP, GSR, and PD for automatic stress detection.
  • The findings suggest a strong link between physiological signal changes and emotional responses to cognitive load.
  • This research contributes to the advancement of Affective Computing and HCI through objective stress monitoring.
