Detecting mental stress at its early stage and developing a method of stress mitigation is very important for safety, health and quality of life. In this study, we employed a modified Stroop Color Word Task (SCWT) with time constrains and negative feedback about the performance, together with Binaural Beats Stimulation (BBs), to induce three varied levels of mental stress. Level one was based on SCWT alone and level two was based on SCWT+time-pressure and level three was by utilizing SCWT+time-pressure+BBs. We then quantified the level of stress using a NASA TLX questionnaire and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The fNIRS signals were then analyzed using the Welch power spectrum density (PSD) to investigate the discrepancy in brain activity across the three levels of mental stress. We found that the mean PSD value in the frequency range of 0.2 to 0.5 Hz has significantly changed between the three stress levels. These findings indicate that the fNIRS power spectrum analysis method could be used as a robust marker for mental stress.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114282466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this project, a portable pre-calibrated mechanical device for position and orientation tracking in 3D space is designed and constructed. The device provided easy-to-use portable tool for on-site usage.

The converter response is observed, firstly, using the equivalent duty cycles to produce the same sequence of reference voltages. Then, the converter response is observed after inserting the designed SM controller. The output voltage of the converter is monitored during tracking the desired reference voltage before and after inserting the controller. This study demonstrates a high priority of the boost converter effectiveness after involving the SM controller to the system.

A lot of research has been done to further enhance the CNTFET performance. This paper studies the implementation of Taguchi method to further optimize CNTFET design parameters. In this research, the HSPICE simulator is used to simulate the Stanford University CNFET model. The factors involved in the design of experiment include the diameter of CNT, oxide thickness and the dielectric constant. By using Taguchi method, the optimum combination of the three-design parameter is 1.0nm of CNT, 1.0 nm of oxide layer and Zirconium Dioxide (25) as the dielectric material. The optimum CNTFET design manages to produce the highest current ratio (Ion/Ioff. The ANOVA analysis is used to evaluate the percentage of each design parameter that affects the current ratio of the CNTFET. The result shows that the diameter of CNT had a significant effect towards the current ratio of 87.24%. The optimized CNTFET is applied to an inverter circuit to study the circuit performance in terms of propagation delay, power consumption and Power-Delay Product (PDP).

Speech signals have been popularly used to detect voice pathology. Recently, the EGG signals have drawn considerable attention from researchers in this field. They argued that the EGG signals could detect the vocal fold vibration more accurately than speech signals and hence can be considered more appropriate for voice pathology detection. This work investigates the effectiveness of the EGG and speech signals in detecting pathological voices using sustained vowel (“/a/”) samples collected from the Saarbrücken Voice Database (SVD). The Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) extracted from the speech and EGG samples are employed as discerning features for this investigation. The results show that the proposed system achieves a higher accuracy (more than 23%) in identifying dysphonic voices from healthy ones with speech signals.","PeriodicalId":337798,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Electrical and Computing Technologies and Applications (ICECTA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126790247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
