Abstract
Emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals is a current focus in brain-computer interface research. However, the classification of EEG is difficult owing to large amounts of data and high levels of noise. Therefore, it is important to determine how to effectively extract features that include important information. Regularization, one of the effective methods for EEG signal processing, can effectively extract important features from the signal and has potential applications in EEG emotion recognition. Currently, the most popular regularization technique is Lasso (L1) and Ridge Regression (L2). In recent years, researchers have proposed many other regularization terms. In theory, Lq-type regularization has a lower q value, which means that it can be used to find solutions with better sparsity. L1/2 regularization is of Lq type (0 < q < 1) and has been shown to have many attractive properties. In this work, we studied the L1/2 penalty in sparse logistic regression for three-classification EEG emotion recognition, and used a coordinate descent algorithm and a univariate semi-threshold operator to implement L1/2 penalty logistic regression. The experimental results on simulation and real data demonstrate that our proposed method is better than other existing regularization methods. Sparse logistic regression with L1/2 penalty achieves higher classification accuracy than the conventional L1, Ridge Regression, and Elastic Net regularization methods, using fewer but more informative EEG signals. This is very important for high-dimensional small-sample EEG data and can help researchers to reduce computational complexity and improve computational accuracy. Therefore, we propose that sparse logistic regression with the L1/2 penalty is an effective technique for emotion recognition in practical classification problems.

Our work in this paper reveals the effectiveness of L1/2 regularization in solving non-linear logistic regression problems with a small number of predictive features (EEG signals)
Summary
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a means of obtaining data through sensors (Rashid et al, 2018; Uktveris and Jusas, 2018). The brain-computer interface (BCI), known as a direct neural interface, is an interdisciplinary cutting-edge technology that represents a direct link between human or animal brains (or brain cell cultures) and external devices (Wolpaw et al, 2000, 2002; Cecotti, 2011; Chaudhary et al, 2016; Ramadan and Vasilakos, 2017). The role of BCI is to establish communication between the human brain and external computers or other intelligent electronic devices (Jin et al, 2015; Li et al, 2016). Emotional recognition generally refers to the use of an individual’s physiological or non-physiological signals to automatically identify their emotional state (Cowie et al, 2001; Busso et al, 2004). Emotional recognition is an important part of emotional computing and is of great importance in medicine and engineering
