Emotion recognition through Electroencephalography (EEG) signals holds significant promise for a wide range of applications, from healthcare to human-computer interaction. This concept introduces a comprehensive approach to improve the accuracy and efficiency of EEG-based emotion recognition. It combines advanced signal processing techniques, hybrid feature selection methods and deep learning architectures, resulting in a robust and innovative framework. The proposed work begins with the preprocessing of EEG signals using an Orthogonal Wavelet Filter. This filter offers exceptional flexibility in balancing the preservation of relevant emotional information and reducing unwanted interference. This initial step is critical in ensuring the processed EEG signals are optimally prepared for subsequent analysis. To capture the time-frequency representations of EEG signals, the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique is applied. EMD is known for extracting complex, non-stationary features from EEG data, which are often critical for understanding emotional states. A key innovation in this concept is the hybrid feature selection approach. It combines the Chaotic Squirrel Search Algorithm (CSSA), which leverages chaos theory for optimization, with the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm. This combination is designed to curate the feature set, retaining only the most discriminative elements for emotion classification. This process enhances the overall efficiency and accuracy of the classification task. For the final phase of emotion recognition, a novel hybrid deep learning architecture is employed. It combines an Attention-based Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) networks. The CNN component is adept at automatically learning hierarchical features from EEG data, while the Bi-LSTM network captures temporal dependencies in the signals. Introducing attention mechanisms further refines the network’s ability to focus on salient features, improving the overall recognition performance. The resulting framework showcases a holistic approach to EEG-based emotion recognition, addressing challenges related to data preprocessing, feature selection, and deep learning model design.
