Brain Computer Interface: Deep Learning Approach to Predict Human Emotion Recognition.

Brain-Computer Interfaces allow controlling machines through signals coming from Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis. Nowadays, there are several cheap electroencephalographs available on the market that guarantee good quality EEG signals. A very interesting approach in this area is related to detecting the emotional states of a user through the analysis of her EEG signal. In our study, we tried to detect the emotional polarity (Valence), the state of emotional excitement (Arousal), and the level of emotion control (Dominance). Through metric interpolation and Russell’s circumplex model, it is possible to characterize and define the current emotional state of the user who wears the device. Our study presents a prototype of an EEG-based emotion recognizer that provides the user’s emotional state exploitable as bio-feedback.
