Key result
The combined CSP and WPD method achieved an emotion classification accuracy of 0.862, which was up to 29.3% higher than PSD features without CSP preprocessing.
Why the study?
Day-to-day fluctuations and differences in subjects' brain EEG signals needed to be reduced to improve the accuracy and stability of EEG emotion classification.
A combined CSP and WPD method improves the accuracy and stability of cross-day EEG emotion classification.
May enhance EEG emotion classification stability; leaves open clinical validation and generalizability.
To effectively reduce the day-to-day fluctuations and differences in subjects’ brain electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and improve the accuracy and stability of EEG emotion classification, a new EEG feature extraction method based on common spatial pattern (CSP) and wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is proposed. For the five-day emotion related EEG data of 12 subjects, the CSP algorithm is firstly used to project the raw EEG data into an optimal subspace to extract the discriminative features by maximizing the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergences between the two categories of EEG data. Then the WPD algorithm is used to decompose the EEG signals into the related features in time-frequency domain. Finally, four state-of-the-art classifiers including Bagging tree, SVM, linear discriminant analysis and Bayesian linear discriminant analysis are used to make binary emotion classification. The experimental results show that with CSP spatial filtering, the emotion classification on the WPD features extracted with bior3.3 wavelet base gets the best accuracy of 0.862, which is 29.3% higher than that of the power spectral density (PSD) feature without CSP preprocessing, is 23% higher than that of the PSD feature with CSP preprocessing, is 1.9% higher than that of the WPD feature extracted with bior3.3 wavelet base without CSP preprocessing, and is 3.2% higher than that of the WPD feature extracted with the rbio6.8 wavelet base without CSP preprocessing. Our proposed method can effectively reduce the variance and non-stationary of the cross-day EEG signals, extract the emotion related features and improve the accuracy and stability of the cross-day EEG emotion classification. It is valuable for the development of robust emotional brain-computer interface applications.
