Feature selection for emotion recognition through EEG signals
Emotion classification through EEG signals has attracted the attention of researchers in several fields, including those studying brain-computer interfaces. This work focus on feature selection necessary to achieve a good classification performance. We have already implemented the classic Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and the Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundance method (mRMR) . We proposed a modification on the Maximum Relevance Minimum Redundance method, applying it to EEG
signals without the need of a discretization step. We show how the proposed method significantly improves the classifiers performance when compared to the use of classical PCA. We also intend to study the Correlation-based Feature selection method (CFS) and compare its performance with the methods mentioned above.
