We developed a decision fusion technique to combine the output probabilities of the EEG and fNIRS classifiers. The fusion explored support vector machine as classifier for each modality, and optimized the classifiers based on their receiver operating characteristic curve values. EEG and fNIRS signal were acquired simultaneously while performing mental arithmetic task under control and stress conditions. Experiment results from 20 subjects demonstrated significant improvement in the detection rate of mental stress by +7.76 ( p<0.001) and +10.57 ( p<0.0005), compared with sole modality of EEG and fNIRS, respectively. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85030634505&doi=10.1109%2fACCESS.2017.2754325&partnerID=40&md5=8f187f3d8b0e0df4305a465b1637a258 id_number: 10.1109/ACCESS.2017.2754325 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Access volume: 5 pagerange: 19889-19896 refereed: TRUE issn: 21693536 citation: Al-Shargie, F. and Tang, T.B. and Kiguchi, M.
