EEG Signals to Measure Mental Stress

Stress is originated from brain, neurological signals are important to measure mental stress. In this paper, a survey of physiological studies to measure mental stress is presented. Methods and individual technique from previous studies are summarised. The concepts of stress from its origin to detection are discussed.
