Abstract
Objectives: Stress is a normal reaction of the human organism induced in situations that demand a level of activation. This reaction has both positive and negative impact on the life of each individual. Thus, the problem of stress management is vital for the maintenance of a person’s psychological balance. This paper aims at the brief presentation of stress definition and various factors that can lead to augmented stress levels. Moreover, a brief synopsis of biosignals that are used for the detection and categorization of stress and their analysis is presented. Methods: Several studies, articles and reviews were included after literature research. The main questions of the research were: the most important and widely used physiological signals for stress detection/assessment, the analysis methods for their manipulation and the implementation of signal analysis for stress detection/assessment in various developed systems. Findings: The main conclusion is that current researching approaches lead to more sophisticated methods of analysis and more accurate systems of stress detection and assessment. However, the lack of a concrete framework towards stress detection and assessment remains a great challenge for the research community. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01267 Full Text: PDF
Highlights
Stress [1] is referred to as a normal reaction of the organism to anything that threatens its homeostasis [2]
The last seems to have attracted the attention of research community and various metrics have been studied regarding their relation with stress levels
There is no definite result that indicates the existence of a gold standard combination of biosignals
Summary
Stress [1] is referred to as a normal reaction of the organism to anything that threatens its homeostasis [2]. Any such threat is characterized as a stressor, i.e., a factor that induces the stress reaction. Elliot and Eisdorfer [5] suggest a taxonomy to characterize these situations in which a person can be involved during his/her lifetime. The distinction they propose takes under consideration two important aspects: duration and course. The five types of stress in terms of time lapse are [6]: 1) Acute time-limited stress: include challenges like public speaking or mental arithmetic
