contents Objective: To investigate the effects of different approaches to EEG preprocessing, channel montage selection, and model architecture on the performance of an online-capable stress detection algorithm in a classroom scenario. Methods: This analysis used EEG data from a longitudinal stress and fatigue study conducted among university students. Their self-reported stress ratings during each class session were the basis for classifying EEG recordings into either normal or elevated stress states. We used a data-processing pipeline that combined Artifact Subspace Reconstruction (ASR)and an Independent Component Analysis (ICA)-based method to achieve online artifact removal. We compared the performance of a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and a 4-layer neural network as classifiers. We opted for accuracy, balanced accuracy, and F1 score as the metrics for assessing performance. We examined the impact of varying numbers of input channels using different channel montages. Additionally, we explored different window lengths and step sizes during online evaluation. Results: Our online artifact removal method achieved performance comparable to the offline ICA method in both offline and online evaluations. A balanced accuracy of 77% and 78% in an imbalanced binary classification were observed when using the 11-frontal-channel LDA model with the proposed artifact removal method. Moreover, the model performance remained intact when changing the channel montage from 30 full-scalp channels to just 11 frontal channels. During the online evaluation, we achieved the highest balanced accuracy (78%) with a window length of 20 seconds and a step size of 1 second. Significance: This study comprehensively investigates the deployment of stress detection in real-world scenarios. The findings of this study provide insight into the development of daily mental stress monitoring.
