An objective assessment is conducted to analyze brain signals using electroencephalography (EEG). In this study, Cognitive Ability Modulation Index (CAMI) was measured by calculating the relative band power in the prefrontal lobe to measure cognitive ability. It is observed that CAMI showed higher value in post-MI than pre-MI, especially for the Fp1 channel which relates to the outcome of a positive impact of MI in reducing anxiety and stress while performing the Stroop Colour Task. To validate CAMI as a suitable measure for effectiveness of Mindfulness Intervention (MI) towards reducing anxiety and stress among neurotics, classification of CAMI before and after MI is performed. The classification achieved 80 accuracy using the Quadratic Support Vector Machine classifier. © 2023 IEEE. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2023 IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology, SENNANO 2023 ; Conference Date: 26 September 2023 Through 27 September 2023; Conference Code:195657
