Stress detection device and methods of use thereof

A method for detecting stress in a subject, said method comprising:

• said subject having a periorbital region;
• optimizing the subject's temperature range to resolve only temperatures outside said periorbital region;
• identifying a limited temperature range to establish a baseline for thermal values tailored to the subject to enable visualization of thermal changes in the subject;
• establishing thermal thresholds based on said baseline;
• displaying breaches outside said thresholds;
• displaying the temperature values of said breaches;
• adjusting said limited temperature range based on the unique temperature characteristics of the subject;
• displaying a spectrum of different colors corresponding respectively to specific narrow temperature variations in regions selected from the cheeks, ears, forehead and neck or a combination thereof;
• displaying selected color variations based on an audio waveform of the subject;
• displaying the color spectrum of a predetermined pixel in an infrared video display;
• varying a timeline of the combined audio waveform and infrared video image;
• comparing the colors of the audio waveform and the infrared video image of said pixel at a particular point in time;
• and
• changing the audio waveform color to track the color variations of said pixel infrared video image.
