Human stress classification during public speaking using physiological signals
Abstract
Public speaking is a common type of social evaluative situation and a significant amount of the population feel uneasy with it. It is of utmost importance to detect public speaking stress so that appropriate action can be taken to minimize its impacts on human health. In this study, a multimodal human stress classification scheme in response to real-life public speaking activity is proposed. Electroencephalography (EEG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and photoplethysmography (PPG) signals of forty participants are acquired in rest-state and during public speaking activity to divide data into a stressed and non-stressed group. Frequency domain features from EEG and time-domain features from GSR and PPG signals are extracted. The selected set of features from all modalities are fused to classify the stress into two classes. Classification is performed via a leave-one-out cross-validation scheme by using five different classifiers. The highest accuracy of 96.25% is achieved using a support vector machine classifier with radial basis function. Statistical analysis is performed to examine the significance of EEG, GSR, and PPG signals between the two phases of the experiment. Statistical significance is found in certain EEG frequency bands as well as GSR and PPG data recorded before and after public speaking supporting the fact that brain activity, skin conductance, and blood volumetric flow are credible measures of human stress during public speaking activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
