Abstract

Real-time emotion recognition provides promising applications for mental healthcare monitoring and human-computer interaction design. Electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition has become a hot topic in the field of affective computing and intelligent brain-computer interface (BCI), and it is a feasible solution for achieving real-time emotion recognition. However, due to the uncertainty and individual specificity of emotional cognition, there are still some challenges in achieving efficient online emotion decoding applications. To address this, in this work, we propose an online emotion decoding method named DMSGL (Real-Time EEG Emotion Recognition from Dynamic Mixed Spatiotemporal Graph Learning). Specifically, in the DMSGL, we propose to explore the latent emotion-related graph features from EEG with cognition-inspired and data-driven learning strategies, and the temporal analysis with attention learning is utilized to further extract the robust spatiotemporal graph patterns for efficient EEG emotion decoding. Both simulated online emotion decoding and real-time emotion monitoring experimental results have consistently indicated that the proposed DMSGL can effectively satisfy the application requirements of real-time emotion decoding and achieves an accuracy of 68.35% in real-world online scenarios. Compared with other baseline methods, the proposed DMSGL has improved by 2-5% in the scenario of real-time emotion recognition. In conclusion, the proposed DMSGL provides a promising solution for realizing real-time emotion recognition and further exploring related applications.
