Anantha Christu Raj With the prevalence of stress-related disorders on the rise, there is an increasing demand for advanced methodologies that can effectively detect and analyze stress levels. In response to this need, this research explores the integration of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques for unlocking insights into stress dynamics from Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Stress, a multifaceted phenomenon with far-reaching implications for mental health, necessitates innovative approaches for its identification and management. The study begins by elucidating the complexity of stress and its impact on individuals' well-being, highlighting the urgency for accurate and efficient stress detection methodologies. Building upon this foundation, the technical intricacies of FFT, SVM, and CNN integration are explored, elucidating their respective roles in the stress detection framework. The FFT method is employed for spectral analysis of EEG signals, providing a foundation for identifying stress-related patterns in the frequency domain. The application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for feature extraction and classification is explored, leveraging their capacity to discern intricate relationships within EEG data structures. Complementing ANNs, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are harnessed for stress level classification, capitalizing on their robustness and efficiency in handling high-dimensional data spaces. Furthermore, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are integrated into the framework to automatically learn hierarchical features from raw EEG signals, enhancing the accuracy and efficacy of stress detection methodologies. Through comprehensive evaluation and comparison with existing algorithms, the integrated approach demonstrates superior performance across key metrics. Stress detection algorithms, such as SVM, exhibit accuracy levels ranging from 70% to 96.5%, with our proposed approach achieving remarkable results. The integrated model achieves an accuracy of 96.5% and an Area under the Curve (AUC) of 0.98, surpassing existing methods in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC. 2025 2025 95 106 10.54216/FPA.170107 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/3/show/3103
