KNN classifier for human emotion from EEG

Emotion Detection from EEG

A KNN classifier to predict human emotions from EEG data

  • Due to an EULA, dataset is not included
  • The average accuracy results are 82.33% (valence) and 87.32% (arousal).

Steps:

The preprocessed data is used for training the classifier. Steps involved in training the dataset:

  • Extracting the dataset
  • Finding features
  • Reducing the dimension
  • Training
  • checking classifier efficiency

Dataset Description

The DEAP dataset consists of two parts:

  • The participant ratings, physiological recordings and face video of an experiment where 32 volunteers watched 40 music videos.
  • EEG and physiological signals were recorded and each participant also rated the videos as above.
  • For a single participant the data is subdivided into label array and eeg_data array
data dim contents
eeg_data 40 x 40 x 8064 video/trial x channel x data
labels 40 x 4 video/trial x label (valence(1-9), arousal(1-9), dominance(1-9), liking(1-9)

Keypoints

  • EEG data of ~10 participants is extracted then converted into vectors which is used as training data.
  • The train_std.csv contains standard deviation of data of all 32 electrodes from each participant.
  • Additional csv files are respective labels for the train.csv data.
  • I have created KNN(k=3) classifier from scratch using scipy.spatial.distance.canberra as distance metric.
  • Now create feature vector from our operational data
  • I have used valence-arousal model for classification.
  • Based on that model, 5 class of emotions can be detected using my approach.

Procedure

Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start running knn_predict.py.

$ cd Emotion-detection-from-EEG
$ python knn.predict.py

Todos

  • Perform same task with an SVM
  • Training an DNN for increasing accuracy
