Stress can be characterized as a feeling of either emotional or physical tension. Due to the biology of the human body, it releases some hormones when under stress. These hormones might cause tensed muscles, increase pulse rate or the heart rate, increase brain activity to make the brain more alert to the surrounding. Stress can be predicted well before it happens by constantly measuring the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters obtained using the pulse sensor. In this project a supervised machine learning model is created using the data acquired from Physionet, once the data is acquired it is cleaned and the missing data is filled. This data set is later used to create a random forest classifier and is saved using pickle library. Once the model is created it is used to detect stress in real time. Pulse sensor amped is used to get the required pulse data in the form of a CSV file and a numpy array is created using inter beat interval information got from pulse sensor. Once a numpy array is created neurokit2 library is used to extract the HRV information of the R-R interval. Later these parameters are compared with the created model and checked to see if the subject is stressed, if the model detects the subject as stressed an alerting message is sent to the subject’s smartphone using Twilio.

In the last few decades, there have been advances in the field of innovative technologies used for the rehabilitation of people with a motor disability. A great example is the Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) technologies, which allow the control of machines through the brain activity of individuals and contributes to a reorganization of their motor and sensory systems. Thus, several evidences have suggested the use of technologies in the rehabilitation of these patients. The aim of this study was to perform a literature review on the use of technologies applied to motor rehabilitation. To carry out this study, a search for scientific articles was performed in the Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs databases, in addition to the dissertations and theses found on the CAPES database. There were a total of 24 references, published between 2002 and 2020. According to the literature studied, there is an increase in resources that use technologies as therapeutic options. Many of the conventional interventions are being replaced or associated with these innovative technologies. With the advent of BMI technology and its use in human beings, a technological revolution can be observed in several biomedical areas, thus allowing a multidisciplinary application in the rehabilitation of motor, sensory or cognitive functions in patients. Despite the advances, this subject still shows controversies and before a broad recommendation, more randomized studies and a greater ethical recommendation on the subject will be needed.

Abstract Neural activity research has recently gained significant attention due to its association with sensory information and behavior control. However, current methods of brain activity sensing require expensive equipment and physical contact with the subject. We propose a novel photonic-based method for remote detection of human senses. Physiological processes associated with hemodynamic activity due to activation of the cerebral cortex affected by different senses have been detected by remote monitoring of nano‐vibrations generated due to the transient blood flow to specific regions of the brain. We have found that combination of defocused, self‐interference random speckle patterns with a spatiotemporal analysis using Deep Neural Network (DNN) allows associating between the activated sense and the seemingly random speckle patterns.

Scientists were unable to study the relation of brain to mind until the invention of technologies that measured the brain activity accompanying psychological processes. Yet even with these new tools, conclusions are tentative or simply wrong. This book describes five conditions that place serious constraints on the ability to predict mental or behavioral outcomes based on brain data: the setting in which evidence is gathered, the expectations of the subject, the source of the evidence that supports the conclusion, the absence of studies that examine patterns of causes with patterns of measures, and the habit of borrowing terms from psychology. The book describes the importance of context, and how the experimental setting—including the room, the procedure, and the species, age, and sex of both subject and examiner—can influence the conclusions. It explains how subject expectations affect all brain measures; considers why brain and psychological data often yield different conclusions; argues for relations between patterns of causes and outcomes rather than correlating single variables; and criticizes the borrowing of psychological terms to describe brain evidence. Brain sites cannot be in a state of “fear.” A deeper understanding of the brain's contributions to behavior, the book argues, requires investigators to acknowledge these five constraints in the design or interpretation of an experiment.

The brain wave activity of a professional Salpuri dancer was observed while the subject recalled her performance of the Salpuri dance when sitting in a chair with closed eyes. As she recalled the feeling of the ecstatic trance state induced by the dance, an increase in alpha brain activity was observed together with marked frontal midline theta activity. Compared to a resting state, the dynamics of the electrical activity in the brain showed an increase in the global field power integral and a decrease in generalized frequency and spatial complexity.

This paper introduced the system of real-time pulse signal acquisition based on CC2430.the original pulse signal was collected by projected pulse sensor, and then after shaping, filtering and amplification, we can get the pulse wave signal, which was stable and synchronized with the heart. After that this signal was input to the CC2430 chip, and reached the PC by ZigBee wireless communication, therefore the real-time monitoring from doctor to patient could be achieved. There were many advantages, such as simple, low power consumption, real-time coercion, etc. We can also expand the functional modules interfaces ,such as body temperature, ECG, blood pressure, to achieve the real-time monitoring more physiological parameters.

In addition to advanced brain imaging techniques and growing interest in the study of consumer reactions with influence of marketing stimuli a new interdisciplinary study has developed on a borderland of neuroscience, economic and psychological studies – neuromarketing. Despite a certain form of insecurity whether the brain imaging technologies provide useful information for control of marketing, more and more marketers identify with their application in conventional market research. The main aim of this contribution is to clarify the influence of a selected advertising spot on the final emotional state of consumers by researching a brain activity of respondents and activity of somatic nervous system, specifically the face expressions. Cortical brain activity was detected by 16channel wireless electroencephalograph by Epoc and changes of mimic muscles were monitored by a biometric device the Facereader by Noldus. The subject of the research is the dissonance of the selected neuroscience techniques with influence of chosen advertising emotional appeals like fear, disgust and sadness. In the end of our contribution, the way of using the neuroscience technology and psychology for detection of consumer emotional involvement of consumers is explained.

There are several different methods of neurofeedback, most of which presume an operant conditioning model whereby the subject learns to control their brain activity in particular regions of the brain and/or at particular brainwave frequencies based on reinforcement. One method, however, called infra-low frequency [ILF] neurofeedback cannot be explained through this paradigm, yet it has profound effects on brain function. Like a conductor of a symphony, recent evidence demonstrates that the primary ILF (typically between 0.01–0.1 Hz), which correlates with the fluctuation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the brain, regulates all of the classic brainwave bands (i.e. alpha, theta, delta, beta, gamma). The success of ILF neurofeedback suggests that all forms of neurofeedback may work through a similar mechanism that does not fit the operant conditioning paradigm. This chapter focuses on the possible mechanisms of action for ILF neurofeedback, which may be generalized, based on current evidence.
