Stress has effects on productivity and performance. Poor stress management may lead to reduced productivity and performance. Non-invasive actuators such as music have the potential to effectively regulate stress. In this study, using a state-space approach, we obtain a performance state to investigate the performance during a working memory task while playing two different types of music in the background. In our experiments, participants performed a working memory task while listening to calming and vexing music of their choice. We utilize the binary correct/incorrect response and the continuous reaction time of the response from the participants to quantify the performance. The state-space quantification reveals that vexing music has a statistically significant positive impact on the obtained performance state. This indicates the feasibility of designing non-invasive closed-loop systems to regulate stress for maximizing performance and productivity.
压力会对生产力和表现产生影响。压力管理不善可能导致生产力和表现下降。诸如音乐之类的非侵入式促动器有有效调节压力的潜力。在本研究中，我们采用状态空间方法获得一个表现状态，以调查在背景播放两种不同类型音乐时工作记忆任务期间的表现。在我们的实验中，参与者在听他们选择的舒缓音乐和烦躁音乐时执行工作记忆任务。我们利用参与者的二元正确/错误反应以及反应的连续反应时间来量化表现。状态空间量化显示，烦躁音乐对所获得的表现状态具有统计学上显著的积极影响。这表明设计非侵入式闭环系统来调节压力以最大化表现和生产力的可行性。
