IIT Madras study finds brain-heart signals predict student test anxiety, enabling early intervention.
Researchers at IIT Madras have found that Frontal Alpha Asymmetry and Heart Rate Variability can predict test anxiety in students, revealing disrupted brain-heart communication under stress.
The study, based on 52 participants, shows students with negative FAA patterns have weaker heart regulation during exams, indicating a biological basis for anxiety and avoidance.
These markers could enable early detection through AI-powered, real-time monitoring, allowing proactive support in schools and universities.
The team plans to expand the research with larger, diverse groups and include factors like sleep and activity levels to improve accuracy.
The findings aim to shift stress management from reactive to preventive, enhancing student well-being and academic performance.
