Abstract
This work utilizes wearable devices for real-time stress detection and investigates the effectiveness of meditation audio in reducing stress levels after academic exposure. Physiological data, including Interbeat Interval (IBI)-derived Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), and electrodermal activity (EDA), are collected during the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST). The stress classification methodology employs an integrated approach using Genetic Algorithm and Mutual Information to reduce feature set redundancy. It further uses Bayesian optimization to fine-tune machine learning hyperparameters. The results indicate that the combination of EDA, BVP, and HRV achieves the highest classification accuracy of 98.28% and 97.02% using the Gradient Boosting (GB) algorithm for 2-level and 3-level stress classification. In contrast, EDA and HRV alone achieve a comparable accuracy of 97.07% and 95.23% for 2-level and 3-level stress classification, respectively. Furthermore, the SHAP Explainable AI (XAI) analysis confirms that HRV and EDA are the most significant features for stress classification. The study also finds evidence that listening to meditation audio reduces stress levels. These findings highlight the potential of wearable technology combined with machine learning for real-time stress monitoring and management in academic environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
