Abstract：
:The aim of this study was to develop a simple technique for objective assessment of mental stress levels by measuring hemoglobin concentration changes in the bilateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) at rest, employing two-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Each subject was instructed to think about nothing in particular for 3 min and then to complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) test. Next, NIRS measurements were taken and the left/right asymmetry of PFC activity at rest was evaluated by calculating the proposed Laterality Index at Rest (LIR). There was a significant positive correlation between the LIR and STAI score in 39 subjects. The present method allowed evaluation of mental stress level from NIRS data in the PFC at rest.
