Abstract

This paper presents a results of designing an intelligent system to evaluate human stress level using Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and Psychoanalysis tests. The questionnaires for Psychoanalysis tests were created based on Cohen´s Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). EEG signals were captured using wireless EEG equipment. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the Psychoanalysis tests and EEG signals were created. The system was evaluated for 12 healthy subjects (7 females and 5 males). The results show that the intelligent system able to display the stress score, stress level and dominant index of EEG signals simultaneously. Thus, users can use the results of the system to take necessary action in order to improve their lifestyle.
