Overview

Workplace stress dataset from 25 subjects performing knowledge work tasks with and without stressors (email interruptions, time pressure). Lab-based but ecologically valid tasks.

Signals

  • HR (heart rate)
  • EDA (electrodermal activity)
  • Posture (pressure sensors)
  • Facial expressions (video + Kinect)
  • Computer interaction logging

Relevance

Controlled stress induction with known ground truth. Useful for training stress/non-stress binary classifier as a foundation model for transfer to meltdown context.
