Use of Differential Entropy for Automated Emotion Recognition in a Virtual Reality Environment with EEG Signals

Abstract

Emotion recognition is one of the most important issues in human–computer interaction (HCI), neuroscience, and psychology fields. It is generally accepted that emotion recognition with neural data such as electroencephalography (EEG) signals, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is better than other emotion detection methods such as speech, mimics, body language, facial expressions, etc., in terms of reliability and accuracy. In particular, EEG signals are bioelectrical signals that are frequently used because of the many advantages they offer in the field of emotion recognition. This study proposes an improved approach for EEG-based emotion recognition on a publicly available newly published dataset, VREED. Differential entropy (DE) features were extracted from four wavebands (theta 4–8 Hz, alpha 8–13 Hz, beta 13–30 Hz, and gamma 30–49 Hz) to classify two emotional states (positive/negative). Five classifiers, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Naïve Bayesian (NB), Decision Tree (DT), and Logistic Regression (LR) were employed with DE features for the automated classification of two emotional states. In this work, we obtained the best average accuracy of 76.22% ± 2.06 with the SVM classifier in the classification of two states. Moreover, we observed from the results that the highest average accuracy score was produced with the gamma band, as previously reported in studies in EEG-based emotion recognition.

“…Frequency components of the EEG are also of high importance. Because oscillations at different frequency levels represent different brain activities [16] . CWT analyzes EEG signals in the time-frequency domain and shows which frequency components are effective in which time interval.…”

“…Spectral entropy (SE) is a measure of the complexity of a signal's frequency spectrum [21]. Spectral entropy is a measure of the distribution of power in the frequency domain and does not provide any information about the temporal dynamics of the signal.…”

Balistokardiyografi sinyalleri ile derin öğrenme tabanlı hipertansiyon tespiti

“…Bu süreçte bazı parametre tercihleri (dalgacık tipi, ölçek, sınırlayıcı tipi ve zaman bant genişliği) ile en uygun görüntünün elde edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çünkü daha önceki çalışmalarda [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] gösterildiği gibi, ısı haritası görüntü elde etme yöntemlerinde zaman-frekans çözünürlüğü dengesi sonuçlar üzerinde oldukça etkili olmaktadır. Uyku halindeki deneklerden elde edilen BKG sinyalleri, 30 saniyelik parçalara bölünmüş ve toplamda hipertansiyon sınıfından 3000 sinyal parçası normal tansiyondan 3000 sinyal parçası olmak üzere toplamda 6000 sinyal parçası rastgele olarak seçilmiş ve bu sinyal parçaları SDDFB yöntemiyle ısı haritası görüntülerine dönüştürülmüştür.…”
