When left ignored and untreated, it can lead to many health complications, including an increased risk of death. In this study, we propose a foundation model approach for stress detection without the need to train the model from scratch. Specifically, we utilise the foundation model "Neuro-GPT", which was trained on a large open dataset (TUH EEG) with 20,000 EEG recordings. We fine-tune the model for stress detection and evaluate it on a 40-subject open stress dataset. The evaluation results with a fine-tuned Neuro-GPT are promising with an average accuracy of 74.4\% in quantifying "low-stress" and "high-stress". We also conducted experiments to compare the foundation model approach with traditional machine learning methods and highlight several observations for future research in this direction.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 30th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking}, pages = {2341–2346}, numpages = {6}, keywords = {biosignals, foundation model, cyber-physical systems}, location = {Washington D.C., DC, USA}, series = {ACM MobiCom '24} }
