摘要

The daily experience of mental stress profoundly influences our health and work performance while concurrently triggering alterations in brain electrical activity. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely adopted method for assessing cognitive and affective states. This study delves into the EEG correlates of stress and the potential use of resting EEG in evaluating stress levels. Over 13 weeks, our longitudinal study focuses on the real-life experiences of college students, collecting data from each of the 18 participants across multiple days in classroom settings. To tackle the complexity arising from the multitude of EEG features and the imbalance in data samples across stress levels, we use the sequential backward selection (SBS) method for feature selection and the adaptive synthetic (ADASYN) sampling algorithm for imbalanced data. Our findings unveil that delta and theta features account for approximately 50% of the selected features through the SBS process. In leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation, the combination of band power and pair-wise coherence (COH) achieves a maximum balanced accuracy of 94.8% in stress-level detection for the above daily stress dataset. Notably, using ADASYN and borderline synthesized minority over-sampling technique (borderline-SMOTE) methods enhances model accuracy compared to the traditional SMOTE approach. These results provide valuable insights into using EEG signals for assessing stress levels in real-life scenarios, shedding light on potential strategies for managing stress more effectively.
