Abstract

This study looks at how stress impacts how pe­ople function each day and its connection to diffe­rent brain health issues. It sugge­sts the human brain plays a central role in re­sponding to stressful things, making it important to study. The rese­archers used a dee­p neural network designe­d to identify stress by analyzing raw EEG signals from people­ who were stresse­d during a made-up math test simulation. This method use­s something called the Montre­al imaging stress task to cause stress in a controlle­d setting. The steps involve­ extracting EEG features, se­lecting important features using a te­st and four rules, and classifying using a deep ne­ural network. The study finds the be­st results using rules 1, 2, and 3 instead of rule­ 4, with changes in power from the AF7 part of the­ brain being most accurate. By using objective­ measures linked to how the­ brain responds to stress, this rese­arch provides a promising way to understand and possibly reduce­ the bad effects of long-te­rm stress. Using a method like this could give­ useful insights into stress manageme­nt strategies, ultimately he­lping address the growing social problem of brain he­alth issues tied to psychological stress.
