Effects of Noise and Vibration Changes from Agricultural Machinery on Brain Stress Using EEG Measurement
In this study, the agricultural work stress induced by the noise and vibration of some agricultural machinery was analyzed through electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements. The values of spectral edge frequency (SEF) 95%, relative gamma power (RGP), and EEG-based working index (EWI), utilized as stre...

| Summary: | In this study, the agricultural work stress induced by the noise and vibration of some agricultural machinery was analyzed through electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements. The values of spectral edge frequency (SEF) 95%, relative gamma power (RGP), and EEG-based working index (EWI), utilized as stress indicators, were derived by analyzing the EEG data collected. The EEG analysis revealed that agricultural work stress manifested when participants engaged in agricultural tasks following a period of rest. Additionally, the right prefrontal cortex was identified where the values of SEF95% and RGP increased concurrently with the rise in noise (61.42–88.39 dBA) and vibration (0.332–1.598 m/s<sup>2</sup>). This study’s results are expected to be utilized as foundational data to determine the agricultural work stress felt by farmers during work through EEG analysis in response to changes in noise and vibration. |
