Analysis of feature reduction for identifying stress levels electroencephalogram signal based

Abstract

Stress identification based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has become a rapidly growing research topic, with the main approaches utilizing features from the frequency domain and time-frequency domain. This research aims to combine principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) for feature extraction to improve the accuracy of stress identification. Additionally, PCA+ICA features are reduced from 64 to 32 columns to optimize computational efficiency without losing important information from the EEG signal. The stress identification models used in this research include Ensemble, naive Bayes, and support vector machine (SVM). The data used are from the SAM-40 task Stroop color trials 1, 2, and 3. Experimental results indicate that the combination of PCA+ICA features improves accuracy only in the ensemble method. Reducing PCA+ICA features from 64 to 32 columns led to an improvement in accuracy only for Stroop trial 2 data with the naive Bayes method.
