Cross-subject affective analysis based on dynamic brain functional networks

The proposed method is evaluated on the DEAP dataset through subject-dependent (trial-independent), subject-independent, and subject- and trial-independent experiments along both valence and arousal dimensions. The results demonstrate that our dynamic brain functional network outperforms the static brain functional network in all three experimental cases. High classification accuracies of 90.89% and 91.17% in the valence and arousal dimensions, respectively, were achieved on the subject-independent experiments based on the dynamic brain function, leading to significant advancements in EEG-based emotion recognition. In addition, experiments with each brain region yielded that the left and right temporal lobes focused on processing individual private emotional information, whereas the remaining brain regions paid attention to processing basic emotional information.
