Abstract
As a new cyber physical application, emotion recognition has been shown to make human-in-the-loop cyber-physical system (HilCPS) more efficient and sustainable. Therefore, emotion recognition is of great significance for HilCPS. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contain abundant and useful information, and can objectively reflect human emotional states. According to EEG signals, using machine learning to recognize emotion is the main method at present. This method depends on the quantity and quality of samples as well as the capability of classification model. However, the quantity of EEG samples is often insufficient and the quality of EEG samples is often irregular. Meanwhile, EEG samples possess strong nonlinearity. Therefore, an EEG emotion recognition method based on transfer learning (TL) and echo state network (ESN) for HilCPS is proposed in this paper. First, a selection algorithm of EEG samples based on average Frechet distance is proposed to improve the sample quality. Second, a feature transfer algorithm of EEG samples based on transfer component analysis is proposed to expand the sample quantity. Third, in order to solve the problem of the nonlinearity of EEG samples, a classification model of EEG samples based on ESN is constructed to accurately classify emotional states. Finally, experimental results show that compared with traditional methods, the proposed method can expand the quantity of the high-quality EEG samples and effectively improve the accuracy of emotion recognition.
