Emotion detection using electroencephalography signals and a zero-time windowing-based epoch estimation and relevant electrode identification
Abstract Recognizing emotions using biological brain signals requires accurate and efficient signal processing and feature extraction methods. Existing methods use several techniques to extract useful features from a fixed number of electroencephalography (EEG) channels. The primary objective of thi...
