Emotion recognition is an important field of research in Brain Computer Interactions. As technology and the understanding of emotions are advancing, there are growing opportunities for automatic emotion recognition systems. Neural networks are a family of statistical learning models inspired by biological neural networks and are used to estimate functions that can depend on a large number of inputs that are generally unknown. In this paper we seek to use this effectiveness of Neural Networks to classify user emotions using EEG signals from the DEAP (Koelstra et al (2012)) dataset which represents the benchmark for Emotion classification research. We explore 2 different Neural Models, a simple Deep Neural Network and a Convolutional Neural Network for classification. Our model provides the state-of-the-art classification accuracy, obtaining 4.51 and 4.96 percentage point improvements over (Rozgic et al (2013)) classification of Valence and Arousal into 2 classes (High and Low) and 13.39 and 6.58 percentage point improvements over (Chung and Yoon(2012)) classification of Valence and Arousal into 3 classes (High, Normal and Low). Moreover our research is a testament that Neural Networks could be robust classifiers for brain signals, even outperforming traditional learning techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
