Abstract

Many psychological motives and life incidences are answerable for inflicting psychological stress. It’s the primary reason for inflicting many cardiovascular diseases. This paper presents a study on psychological stress detection with the aid of processing the Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) as a classification approach. The main purpose of this study was to trace students under stress during their oral exam. A dataset of ECG recordings of 130 students was taken during the oral exam. A customized CNN is designed for stress recognition, and it has achieved 97.22% and 93.10% stress detection accuracy for filtered and noisy datasets, respectively.
