Acute stress is a physiological and psychological condition that manifests when the demands of either a real-life situation or a cognitive task exceed the resources we have available to cope. If not treated, acute stress can turn into chronic, resulting in serious physical and psychological issues, including cardiovascular diseases, anxiety, and decreased productivity. Furthermore, it may have significant economic consequences, such as increased absenteeism in the workplace. This project aims to develop a real-time algorithm for stress detection and reduction by exploiting binaural beats. Binaural beats are an auditory stimulation that occurs when two tones with a slight frequency mismatch are presented separately to each ear.
