Title

Using support vector regression to estimate valence level from EEG

Abstract
Emotion recognition is an integral part of affective computing. An affective brain-computer-interface (BCI) can benefit the user in a number of applications. In most existing studies, EEG (electroencephalograph)-based emotion recognition is explored in a classificatory manner. In this manner, human emotions are discretized by a set of emotion labels. However, human emotions are more of a continuous phenomenon than discrete. A regressive approach is more suited for continuous emotion recognition. Few studies have looked into a regressive approach. In this study, we investigate a portfolio of EEG features including fractal dimension, statistics and band power. Support vector regression (SVR) is employed in this study to estimate subject's valence level by means of different features under two evaluation schemes. In the first scheme, a SVR is constructed with full training resources, whereas in the second scheme, a SVR only receives minimal training resources. MAE (mean ab solute error) averages of 0.74 and 1.45 can be achieved under the first and the second scheme, respectively, by fractal feature. The advantages of a regressive approach over classificatory approach lie in continuous emotion recognition and the possibility to reduce training resources to minimal level.
