Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Psychology

Background:

  • Mental stress is a significant health concern, particularly for students.
  • Existing stress detection methods relying on biological, biochemical, or physiological markers show inconsistencies due to factors like hormone instability.
  • There is a need for more reliable and stable methods for mental stress detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of frontal lobe Electroencephalogram (EEG) spectrum analysis for detecting mental stress.
  • To develop a robust and accurate method for real-time mental stress monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for feature extraction from frontal lobe EEG signals, measuring power density across different frequency bands.
  • Employed machine learning classifiers, including Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes (NB), for stress classification.
  • Implemented both subject-wise and mixed (mental stress vs. control) classification approaches.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a high average accuracy of 98.21% in subject-wise classification.
  • Demonstrated the technique's low complexity, high accuracy, and ease of use.
  • Confirmed the method's suitability for real-time and continuous monitoring without overfitting.

Conclusions:

  • Frontal lobe EEG spectrum analysis is a highly accurate and reliable method for mental stress detection.
  • The proposed technique offers a practical solution for continuous stress monitoring in various applications, including medical and educational settings.
  • This approach overcomes limitations of traditional methods, providing a stable and effective alternative.
