Description
Summary:Human emotions trigger reflective transformations within the brain, leading to unique patterns of neural activity and behaviour. This study connects the power of electroencephalogram (EEG) data to investigate the intricate impacts of emotions, considering their reflective significance in our daily lives, in depth. The versatile applications of EEG signals encompass an array of domains, from the categorisation of motor imagery activities to the control of advanced prosthetic devices. However, EEG data present a difficult challenge due to their inherent noisiness and non-stationary nature, making it imperative to extract salient features for classification purposes. In this paper, we introduce a novel and effective framework reinforced by Grey Wolf Optimisation (GWO) for the recognition and interpretation of EEG signals of emotion dataset. The core objective of our research is to unravel the intricate neural signatures that underlie emotional experiences and pave the way for more nuanced emotion recognition systems. To measure the efficacy of our proposed framework, we conducted experiments utilising EEG recordings from a unit of 32 participants. During the experiments, participants were exposed to emotionally charged video stimuli, each lasting one minute. Subsequently, the collected EEG data of emotion were meticulously analysed, and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was employed for the robust categorisation of the extracted EEG features. Our results underscore the potential of the GWO-based framework, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 93.32% in accurately identifying and categorising emotional states. This research not only provides valuable insights into the neural underpinnings of emotions but also lays a solid foundation for the development of more sophisticated and emotionally intelligent human–computer interaction systems.
