In this study, we analyzed the utility of electromyogram (EMG) signals recorded from the zygomaticus major (zEMG), the trapezius (tEMG), and the corrugator supercilii (cEMG) for emotion detection. We computed eleven-time domain features from the EMG signals to classify the emotions such as amusing, boring, relaxing, and scary. The features were fed to the logistic regression, support vector machine, and multilayer perceptron classifiers, and model performance was evaluated.

The BVP of 30 subjects from the publicly available CASE dataset was pre-processed, and 39 features were extracted from various emotional states, such as amusing, boring, relaxing, and scary. The features were categorized into time, frequency, and time-frequency domains and used to build an emotion detection model with XGBoost.

The EDA signals from the publicly available, Continuously Annotated Signals of Emotion dataset were down-sampled and decomposed into phasic components using the cvxEDA algorithm. The phasic component of EDA was subjected to Short-Time Fourier Transform-based time-frequency representation to obtain spectrograms.

Although EEG is known to be sensitive to emotions, understanding the stability of brain responses to EEG-based authentication systems is challenging. In this study, we compared the effect of different emotion stimuli for the application in the EEG-based biometrics system (EBS).

Decomposition analysis is used to deconvolve the EDA into slow and fast varying tonic and phasic activity, respectively. In this study, we used machine learning models to compare the performance of two EDA decomposition algorithms to detect emotions such as amusing, boring, relaxing, and scary.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain regions. Analysis of differential expression (DE) of transcriptomic data allows for genome-wide analysis of gene expression changes related to ASD. De-novo mutations may play a vital role in ASD, but the list of genes involved is still far from complete.
