N2 - The paper investigates classification of stress in reading for males and females based on an artificial neural network model (ANN). An experiment was conducted, with stressful and non-stressful reading material as stimuli, to obtain galvanic skin response (GSR) signals, a good indicator of stress. GSR signals formed the input of the ANN with stressed and non-stressed states as the two output classes. Results show that stress in reading for males compared to females are significantly different (p < 0.01), with males showing different patterns in GSR signals to females.
