Exploring Emotions in EEG: Deep Learning Approach with Feature Fusion

Abstract

Emotion is an intricate physiological response that plays a crucial role in how we respond and cooperate with others in our daily affairs. Numerous experiments have been evolved to recognize emotion, however still require exploration to intensify the performance. To enhance the performance of effective emotion recognition, this study proposes a subject-dependent robust end-to-end emotion recognition system based on a 1D convolutional neural network (1D-CNN). We evaluate the SJTU1 Emotion EEG Dataset SEED-V with five emotions (happy, sad, neural, fear, and disgust). To begin with, we utilize the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to decompose the raw EEG signals into six frequency bands and extract the power spectrum feature from the frequency bands. After that, we combine the extracted power spectrum feature with eye movement and differential entropy (DE) features. Finally, for classification, we apply the combined data to our proposed system. Consequently, it attains 99.80% accuracy which surpasses each prior state-of-the-art system
