I\textsuperscript{2}RiMA: Spectral Riemannian Representation with Temporal Attention for Mental Stress Detection based on EEG Signals

arXiv:2607.01279v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-subject EEG stress detection remains challenging because discriminative stress-related patterns are both subject-dependent and frequency-specific. Conventional Riemannian methods model spatial covariance mainly in the time domain, overlooking neural oscillations that are critical for high-level cognitive state decoding, while standard temporal tokenization often fragments inter-slice temporal coherence. To address these limitations, we propose \method{}, an Intra-Inter Riemannian Manifold Attention Network for EEG-based stress detection. \m
Advances in AI, particularly deep learning and attention mechanisms, are enabling more sophisticated analysis of complex biological signals like EEG, pushing the boundaries of mental state decoding.
Improved stress detection via non-invasive means like EEG could revolutionize mental health monitoring, human-computer interaction, and high-stress professional environments.
The ability to accurately detect and interpret internal cognitive states from brain signals is continuously improving, moving closer to practical real-world applications.

More accurate and continuous monitoring of mental stress becomes feasible, moving beyond self-reported measures.
This could lead to personalized interventions and adaptive systems in fields like education, workspace management, and even military applications.
The ethical implications of ubiquitous, non-consensual mental state detection will become a major societal and regulatory challenge.
