A Wearable Exam Stress Dataset for Predicting Cognitive Performance in Real-World Settings

Preliminary datasets containing skin conductance recordings where experiments
involve artificial stimuli are available online. However, recordings of a
longer duration acquired during real-world cognitive stressors are lacking
significantly. This dataset seeks to bridge the gap between a body of
knowledge concerning the human stress response primarily built up on
laboratory acquired data, and how people's skin conductance fluctuates in
reality when they undergo a stressful exam experience. The data contains
**electrodermal activity** , **heart rate** , **blood volume pulse** , **skin
surface temperature** , **inter beat interval** and **accelerometer data**
recorded during **three exam sessions** (midterm 1, midterm 2 and finals) as
well as their corresponding grades. The purpose of this dataset is to gauge
the influence of stress on exam performance.
