Abstract

In this study, cognitive and behavioral emotion regulation strategies (ERS) are classified by using machine learning models driven by a new local EEG complexity approach so called Frequency Specific Complexity (FSC) in resting-states (eyes-opened (EO), eyes-closed (EC)). According to international 10–20 electrode placement system, FSC is defined as entropy estimations in Alpha (8-12Hz) and Beta (12.5-30Hz) frequency band intervals of non-overlapped short EEG segments to observe local EEG complexity variations at 62 points on scalp surface. The healthy adults who use both rumination and cognitive distraction frequently are included in the 1st groups, while the others who use these strategies rarely are included in the 2nd group with respect to Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) scores of them. EEG data and CERQ scores are downloaded from publicly available data-base LEMON. In order to test the reliability of the proposed method, five different supervised machine learning methods in addition to two Extreme Learning Machine models are examined with 5-fold cross-validation for discrimination of the contrasting groups. The highest classification accuracy (CA) of 99.47% is provided by Class-specific Cost Regulation Extreme Learning Machines in EC state. Regarding cortical regions (anterio-frontal, central, temporal, parieto-occipital), the regional FSC estimations did not provide the higher performance, however, corresponding statistical distribution shows the decrease in EEG complexity at mostly anterior cortex in the 1st group characterized by maladaptive rumination. In conclusion, FSC can be proposed to investigate cognitive dysfunctions often caused by the use of rumination.
