Abstract
Stress is a complex and multifactorial emotion that significantly affects the psychophysical well-being of individuals by disrupting the homeostasis of the human body. The present study aims to assess EEG responses to stress and stressors in Virtual Reality scenarios. VR has been chosen for its ability to create controlled, immersive environments that can elicit realistic responses from participants. Two immersive VR environments were developed: one designed to induce stress and the other to provide a mitigated, less stressful experience. Each virtual environment is divided into seven parts, with tasks related to specific stressors (lack of time, lack of knowledge, lack of control, lack of salvation, no or too many alternatives, lack of engagement, and lack of self-confidence) selected based on previous literature.
The experiment involved 61 participants who interacted with both VR environments and performed tasks related to the identified stressors
