THE way people type and use their computer mouse can be better stress indicators than their heart rate, Swiss researchers said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), adding their model could help prevent chronic stress.
Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich said they had used new data and machine learning to develop a fresh model for detecting stress levels at work, based solely on the way people type or use their mouse.'How we type on our keyboard and move our mouse seems to be a better predictor of how stressed we feel in an office environment than our heart rate,' mathematician and study author Mara Nagelin said.
Relaxed people by contrast take fewer but longer pauses when typing, they found.Not a 'monitoring tool'The connection between stress, and keyboard and mouse behavior can be explained through so-called neuromotor noise theory.'Increased levels of stress negatively impact our brain's ability to process information. This also affects our motor skills,' psychologist and co-author Jasmine Kerr said.
