Brain waves processing, analysis and acquisition to diagnose stress level in the work environment

Abstract

In recent years, computers and brainwaves acquisition have been a major source to improve human-computer interaction, allowing us to understand the emotions of an individual. In this research, the analysis of a worker stress level is proposed by using a head placed non-invasive device called Emotiv Insight, which has the ability to connect via an interface Brain Computer (BCI) and represent the different facial gestures as well as, interpreting brain signals. Once acquired these electroencephalographic (EEG) signals have been analyzed and the results has allowed to identify the responses generated by an individual during a test with high levels of stress.
