An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Auditory Flutter Fusion as a Measure of Mental Stress,
Abstract
The paper presents a study of auditory flutter fusion as a technique for the analysis of mental stress. Auditory flutter fusion is defined as the point at which a pulsed signal becomes fused or sounds continuous. The basis for this study is that the frequency at which the signal becomes fused drops in an amount proportional to the amount of mental stress induced. The object of this paper is to further the study of this technique and to investigate whether or not the deviation between the flutter fusion points taken before a mental task and the points taken immediately following the task replicate over repeated trails of the same subject. The paper also examines whether or not this deviation is statistically the same between different subjects.
