Emotions Detection based on a Single-electrode EEG Device
The study of emotions using multiple channels of EEG represents a widespread practice in the field of research
related to brain computer interfaces (Brain Computer Interfaces). To date, few studies have been reported in
the literature with a reduced number of channels, which when used in the detection of emotions present results
that are less accurate than the rest. To detect emotions using an EEG channel and the data obtained is useful
for classifying emotions with an accuracy comparable to studies in which there is a high number of channels,
is of particular interest in this research framework. This article uses the Neurosky Maindwave device; which
has a single electrode to acquire the EEG signal, Matlab software and IBM SPSS Modeler; which process
and classify the signals respectively. The accuracy obtained in the detection of emotions in relation to the
economic resources of the hardware dedicated to the acquisition of EEG signal is remarkable
EEG-Based Emotion Recognition Using Regularized Graph Neural Networks
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the neuronal activities in different
brain regions via electrodes. Many existing studies on EEG-based emotion
recognition do not fully exploit the topology of EEG channels. In this paper,
we propose a regularized graph neural network (RGNN) for EEG-based emotion
recognition. RGNN considers the biological topology among different brain
regions to capture both local and global relations among different EEG
channels. Specifically, we model the inter-channel relations in EEG signals via
an adjacency matrix in a graph neural network where the connection and
sparseness of the adjacency matrix are inspired by neuroscience theories of
human brain organization. In addition, we propose two regularizers, namely
node-wise domain adversarial training (NodeDAT) and emotion-aware distribution
learning (EmotionDL), to better handle cross-subject EEG variations and noisy
labels, respectively. Extensive experiments on two public datasets, SEED and
SEED-IV, demonstrate the superior performance of our model than
state-of-the-art models in most experimental settings. Moreover, ablation
studies show that the proposed adjacency matrix and two regularizers contribute
consistent and significant gain to the performance of our RGNN model. Finally,
investigations on the neuronal activities reveal important brain regions and
inter-channel relations for EEG-based emotion recognition
Exploring EEG Features in Cross-Subject Emotion Recognition
Recognizing cross-subject emotions based on brain imaging data, e.g., EEG, has always been difficult due to the poor generalizability of features across subjects. Thus, systematically exploring the ability of different EEG features to identify emotional information across subjects is crucial. Prior related work has explored this question based only on one or two kinds of features, and different findings and conclusions have been presented. In this work, we aim at a more comprehensive investigation on this question with a wider range of feature types, including 18 kinds of linear and non-linear EEG features. The effectiveness of these features was examined on two publicly accessible datasets, namely, the dataset for emotion analysis using physiological signals (DEAP) and the SJTU emotion EEG dataset (SEED). We adopted the support vector machine (SVM) approach and the "leave-one-subject-out" verification strategy to evaluate recognition performance. Using automatic feature selection methods, the highest mean recognition accuracy of 59.06% (AUC = 0.605) on the DEAP dataset and of 83.33% (AUC = 0.904) on the SEED dataset were reached. Furthermore, using manually operated feature selection on the SEED dataset, we explored the importance of different EEG features in cross-subject emotion recognition from multiple perspectives, including different channels, brain regions, rhythms, and feature types. For example, we found that the Hjorth parameter of mobility in the beta rhythm achieved the best mean recognition accuracy compared to the other features. Through a pilot correlation analysis, we further examined the highly correlated features, for a better understanding of the implications hidden in those features that allow for differentiating cross-subject emotions. Various remarkable observations have been made. The results of this paper validate the possibility of exploring robust EEG features in cross-subject emotion recognition
