Abstract
Online monitoring of mental well-being and factors contributing to it is vital, especially in pandemics (like COVID-19), when physical contact is discouraged. As emotions are closely connected to mental health, the monitoring and classification of emotions are also vital. In this paper, we present an emotion recognition framework recognizing emotions (angry, happiness, neutral, sadness, and scare) from neurological signals. Subjects can monitor their own emotions; the recognition outcome can also be transferred to healthcare professionals online for further investigation. For this, we use the brain’s electrical responses, containing the affective state of mind. These electrical responses or brain signals are recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) sensors. The EEG sensors are well established in their utility in non-medical and medical applications, such as biometrics or epilepsy detection. Here, we extract features from the EEG sensors and feed them as input to support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) classifiers. Recognition rates of 76.32% and 79.18% have been recorded with SVM and RF classifiers, respectively. These results, along with the results attained using prior methods, demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
