Correlation of emotion to film rating classification using EEG signal analysis

Abstract

This paper describes a research project conducted to correlate emotion to film rating classification using EEG signals measured by Emotiv device. Certain films contain inappropriate content that call for the need to classify their ratings. Every Television of Film Review Board rates a certain film based on their general criteria. Since emotion plays a huge role in decision making, this paper conducts a study of the correlation of emotion to film classification. This research is made since decision-making can be greatly affected by emotion and no research paper has studied a correlation between the two. To do this study, firstly, literature research has been performed to establish a proper approach on acquisition and processing of EEG signals. Second is the gathering of data in a controlled environment and putting this data into practice during the experimental phase. EEG data were processed to extract the features of a certain EEG. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was used to correlate data of emotions and film ratings.
