An approach to emotion recognition in single-channel EEG signals using stationarywavelet transform

© Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017. In this work, we perform an approach to emotion recognition from Electroencephalography (EEG) single channel signals extracted in four (4) mother-child dyads experiment in developmental psychology. Single channel EEG signals are decomposed by several types of wavelets and each subsignal are processed using several window sizes by performing a statistical analysis. Finally, three types of classifiers were used, obtaining accuracy rate between 50% to 87% for the emotional states such as happiness, sadness and neutrality.
