n=15. Healthy adults (mean age 27.5). 3 conditions: baseline, amusement, stress. Recruited from university community.

Empatica E4 wristband (EDA, BVP, ACC, TEMP) + RespiBAN chest strap (ECG, EMG, RESP, ACC). Both devices worn simultaneously.

Laboratory setting. Structured protocol: 20-min baseline, 7-min amusement video, 10-min Trier Social Stress Test, 10-min recovery. Each session ~2 hours.

Self-report (SAM, PANAS, SSSQ). Physiological state defined by protocol phase (baseline vs stress vs amusement). No clinician-rated labels.

Manual artifact inspection. EDA artifacts removed via visual inspection. ECG: Pan-Tompkins for R-peak detection. Accelerometer non-wear detected via zero-variance.

n=15 enrolled. All 15 completed full protocol. No missing data reported. Complete data for all participants across all sensors.

n=1,021. Pooled from 13 public datasets (WESAD, DEAP, DAPPER, etc.). Diverse demographics. No original recruitment.

Signal quality filtering: PPG signals with SNR < 3dB excluded. Inter-beat interval outliers removed via MAD-based thresholding. Harmonization pipeline validated on held-out dataset.

n=1,021 pooled from 13 datasets. Each dataset had independent exclusion criteria. Full details in source dataset publications.
