Simultaneous measurements of fNIRS and EEG signals were conducted on 12 subjects while solving arithmetic problems under two different conditions (control and stress). The stressors in this work were time pressure and negative feedback of individual performance. The study demonstrated significant reduction in the concentration of oxygenated haemoglobin (p=0.0032) and alpha rhythm power (p=0.0213) on the prefrontal cortex (PFC) under stress condition. Specifically, the right PFC and dorsolateral PFC were highly sensitive to mental stress. Using support vector machine (SVM), the mean detection rate of mental stress was 91, 95 and 98 using fNIRS, EEG and fusion of fNIRS and EEG signals, respectively. © 2016 IEEE. date: 2017 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011982455&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2016.7824060&partnerID=40&md5=df408c0a5a61773b085d43e4c4ae25e7 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2016.7824060 full_text_status: none publication: International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2016 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781509008452 citation: Al-Shargie, F. and Tang, T.B. and Badruddin, N. and Dass, S.C. and Kiguchi, M.
