Abstract
- In the previous works on heat stress detection, various state-of-the-art machine learning techniques had been used to detect stress patterns from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Since the handcrafted feature engineering-based approaches pose certain limitations and are sensitive to transform the nonlinearities of EEG, deep learning techniques have drawn attention in the domain of EEG-based applications. Moreover, existing approaches for stress detection consider the whole frequency band (delta to gamma) which conceals the redundant and lossy information that increased the false detection rate. Also, these approaches were implemented only to identify the stress in binary classes and confined their application to identifying the level of stress. Therefore, a multi-scale channel-wise convolution-based multi-level heat stress assessment has been proposed in this paper. The novel contributions of this work are (1) designing a multi-scale convolutional neural network (MS-CNN) for extracting precise information from individual frequency bands of EEG, (2) use of sparse connectivity to reduce the redundant information and increase the performance with less trainable parameters, and (3) multi-level heat stress assessment for precise identification of the severity of stress. The proposed approaches were evaluated on pre-recorded data of 10 rats in a simulated laboratory environment. The high accuracy of approximately 96–97% and 90–92% has been achieved for binary and multi-level stress detection. There is approximately a 6 to 50% reduction in the trainable parameters with a 2% improvement of accuracy achieved on adopting channel-wise convolution over MS-CNN and deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). This demonstrates the effectiveness of the adopted multiscale feature extraction and sparse connectivity to improve the performance with a less complex model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
