Abstract

This paper proposes an emotion recognition system using the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. Both time domain and frequency domain approaches for feature extraction were evaluated using neural network (NN) and fuzzy neural network (FNN) as classifiers. Data was collected using psychological stimulation experiments. Three basic emotions namely; Angry, Happy, and Sad were selected for recognition with relax as an emotionless state. Both the time domain (based on statistical method) and frequency domain (based on MFCC) approaches shows potential to be used for emotion recognition using the EEG signals.
