Can low beta waves from a single-channel EEG headset accurately predict and classify human stress levels?
Absolute Event Rate: 71.43% vs 64.29%
Low beta waves extracted from a single-channel frontal EEG can effectively predict perceived stress scores and classify stress levels with reduced computational cost.
Saeed et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Psychological stress (n=28). Low beta waves (13-17 Hz) from single channel EEG vs. All brain waves was evaluated on Classification accuracy of stress level using Naive Bayes algorithm. Using low beta waves from a single-channel EEG headset as a feature with the Naive Bayes algorithm classified human stress levels with 71.4% accuracy, improving upon the 64.3% accuracy of using all brain waves.
