Single-trial EEG-based emotion recognition using temporally regularized common spatial pattern

基于时域正则化共空间模式的单次脑电情绪识别(英文)

This study addresses the problem of classifying emotional words based on recorded electroencephalogram （EEG） signals by the single-trial EEG classification technique. Emotional two-character Chinese words are used as experimental materials. Positive words versus neutral words and negative words versus neutral words are classified, respectively, using the induced EEG signals. The method of temporally regularized common spatial patterns （TRCSP） is chosen to extract features from the EEG trials, and then single-trial EEG classification is achieved by linear discriminant analysis. Classification accuracies are between 55% and 65%. The statistical significance of the classification accuracies is confirmed by permutation tests, which shows the successful identification of emotional words and neutral ones, and also the ability to identify emotional words. In addition, 10 out of 15 subjects obtain significant classification accuracy for negative words versus neutral words while only 4 are significant for positive words versus neutral words, which demonstrate that negative emotions are more easily identified.

通过使用单次提取脑电信号的分类技术进行情绪词的脑电（EEG）识别研究.以中文情绪双字词为实验材料,通过其诱发的EEG信号,对正性词与中性词、负性词与中性词分别进行分类.使用时域正则化的共空间模式对单次提取脑电信号进行特征提取,并利用线性判别分析方法进行特征分类,分类准确率集中于55%~65%.置换检验验证了实验分类准确率的统计学显著性,表明了情绪词和中性词的成功识别,也有效地证实了基于脑电信号的语言情绪信息的可识别性.此外,在15名被试中,10名被试的负性词与中性词识别率显著,而仅有4名被试的正性词与中性词识别率显著,说明负性情绪更易被识别.
