This research aims to establish a practical stress detection framework by integrating physiological indicators and deep learning techniques. Utilizing a virtual reality (VR) interview paradigm mirroring real-world scenarios, our focus is on classifying stress states through accessible single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) data. Thirty participants underwent stress-inducing VR interviews, with biosignals recorded for deep learning models. Читать дальше...

Mixture toxicity was determined for 32 binary combinations. One chemical was the non-reactive, non-polar narcotic 3-methyl-2-butanone (always chemical A) and the other was a potentially reactive electrophile (chemical B). Bioluminescence inhibition in Allovibrio fischeri was measured at 15-, 30-, and 45-minutes of exposure for A, B, and the mixture (MX). Concentration-response curves (CRCs) were developed for each chemical and used to develop predicted... Читать дальше...
