EEG-based emotion recognition systems; comprehensive study.

Emotion recognition technology through EEG signal analysis is currently a fundamental concept in artificial intelligence. This recognition has major practical implications in emotional health care, human-computer interaction, and so on. This paper provides a comprehensive study of different methods for extracting electroencephalography (EEG) features for emotion recognition from four different perspectives, including time domain features, frequency domain features, time-frequency features, and nonlinear features. We summarize the current pattern recognition methods adopted in most related works, and with the rapid development of deep learning (DL) attracting the attention of researchers in this field, we pay more attention to deep learning-based studies and analyse the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scenarios. Finally, the current challenges and future development directions in this field were summarized. This paper can help novice researchers in this field gain a systematic understanding of the current status of emotion recognition research based on EEG signals and provide ideas for subsequent related research.
