The extremely busy and stressful nature of life in modern society places a heavy toll on both the physical and mental health of many individuals. This has led to an increase in the numbers of patients with physical and mental illnesses. Of the many types of psychiatric illness, we focus on the study of schizophrenia. Many previous studies have shown that the emotional responses of schizophrenia patients are different from those of normal patients. In this study, we used different visual stimuli to induce emotions on subjects, and electroencephalography (EEG) signals were simultaneously collected for analysis. The collected EEG signals were subjected to Daubechies wavelet transformation, and the extracted features were input to a support vector machine (SVM) for analysis and identification.
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.
