Abstract

Improving arousal recognition accuracy by using EEG signals is important for emotion recognition. In this research, discrete wavelet transform is used to extract features, and a cross-level method is adopted to select effective features. The cross-level method shows great potential for two-level arousal classification, and the recognition accuracy reaches 91.8%. The sensitivity of EEG channels is also discussed based on two ranking methods of SCP (single-channel performance) and ANOVA (analysis of variance). Finally, arousal recognition method based on EEG signals is applied to construct a Japanese emotion database.
