Abstract
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has promoted the development of electroencephalogram (EEG) emotion recognition. However, existing methods often overlook the computational cost of EEG emotion recognition, and there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of EEG emotion recognition. In this study, we propose a novel EEG emotion recognition algorithm called FCAN-XGBoost, which is a fusion of two algorithms, FCAN and XGBoost. The FCAN module is a feature attention network (FANet) that we have proposed for the first time, which processes the differential entropy (DE) and power spectral density (PSD) features extracted from the four frequency bands of the EEG signal and performs feature fusion and deep feature extraction. Finally, the deep features are fed into the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm to classify the four emotions. We evaluated the proposed method on the DEAP and DREAMER datasets and achieved a four-category emotion recognition accuracy of 95.26% and 94.05%, respectively. Additionally, our proposed method reduces the computational cost of EEG emotion recognition by at least 75.45% for computation time and 67.51% for memory occupation. The performance of FCAN-XGBoost outperforms the state-of-the-art four-category model and reduces computational costs without losing classification performance compared with other models.

Abstract
(1) Background: Chaos, a feature of nonlinear dynamical systems, is well suited for exploring biological time series, such as heart rates, respiratory records, and particularly electroencephalograms. The primary purpose of this article is to review recent studies using chaos theory and nonlinear dynamical methods to analyze human performance in different brain processes. (2) Methods: Several studies have examined chaos theory and related analytical tools for describing brain dynamics. The present study provides an in-depth analysis of the computational methods that have been proposed to uncover brain dynamics. (3) Results: The evidence from 55 articles suggests that cognitive function is more frequently assessed than other brain functions in studies using chaos theory. The most frequently used techniques for analyzing chaos include the correlation dimension and fractal analysis. Approximate, Kolmogorov and sample entropy account for the largest proportion of entropy algorithms in the reviewed studies. (4) Conclusions: This review provides insights into the notion of the brain as a chaotic system and the successful use of nonlinear methods in neuroscience studies. Additional studies of brain dynamics would aid in improving our understanding of human cognitive performance.

Emotion recognition with residual network driven by spatial-frequency characteristics of EEG recorded from hearing-impaired adults in response to video clips. Comput Biol Med 2023; 152:106344. [PMID: 36470142 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2022.106344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals has attracted plenty of attention. Most of the existing works focused on normal or depressed people. Due to the lack of hearing ability, it is difficult for hearing-impaired people to express their emotions through language in their social activities. In this work, we collected the EEG signals of hearing-impaired subjects when they were watching six kinds of emotional video clips (happiness, inspiration, neutral, anger, fear, and sadness) for emotion recognition. The biharmonic spline interpolation method was utilized to convert the traditional frequency domain features, Differential Entropy (DE), Power Spectral Density (PSD), and Wavelet Entropy (WE) into the spatial domain. The patch embedding (PE) method was used to segment the feature map into the same patch to obtain the differences in the distribution of emotional information among brain regions. For feature classification, a compact residual network with Depthwise convolution (DC) and Pointwise convolution (PC) is proposed to separate spatial and channel mixing dimensions to better extract information between channels. Dependent subject experiments based on 70% training sets and 30% testing sets were performed. The results showed that the average classification accuracies by PE (DE), PE (PSD), and PE (WE) were 91.75%, 85.53%, and 75.68%, respectively which were improved by 11.77%, 23.54%, and 16.61% compared with DE, PSD, and WE. Moreover, the comparison experiments were carried out on the SEED and DEAP datasets with PE (DE), which achieved average accuracies of 90.04% (positive, neutral, and negative) and 88.75% (high valence and low valence). By exploring the emotional brain regions, we found that the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes of hearing-impaired people were associated with emotional activity compared to normal people whose main emotional brain area was the frontal lobe.

Abstract
The neural systems' electric activities are fundamental for the phenomenology of consciousness. Sensory perception triggers an information/energy exchange with the environment, but the brain's recurrent activations maintain a resting state with constant parameters. Therefore, perception forms a closed thermodynamic cycle. In physics, the Carnot engine is an ideal thermodynamic cycle that converts heat from a hot reservoir into work, or inversely, requires work to transfer heat from a low- to a high-temperature reservoir (the reversed Carnot cycle). We analyze the high entropy brain by the endothermic reversed Carnot cycle. Its irreversible activations provide temporal directionality for future orientation. A flexible transfer between neural states inspires openness and creativity. In contrast, the low entropy resting state parallels reversible activations, which impose past focus via repetitive thinking, remorse, and regret. The exothermic Carnot cycle degrades mental energy. Therefore, the brain's energy/information balance formulates motivation, sensed as position or negative emotions. Our work provides an analytical perspective of positive and negative emotions and spontaneous behavior from the free energy principle. Furthermore, electrical activities, thoughts, and beliefs lend themselves to a temporal organization, an orthogonal condition to physical systems. Here, we suggest that an experimental validation of the thermodynamic origin of emotions might inspire better treatment options for mental diseases.

Abstract
Metaverse is to build a virtual world that is both mapped and independent of the real world in cyberspace by using the improvement in the maturity of various digital technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), big data, and 5G, which is important for the future development of a wide variety of professions, including education. The metaverse represents the latest stage of the development of visual immersion technology. Its essence is an online digital space parallel to the real world, which is becoming a practical field for the innovation and development of human society. The most prominent advantage of the English-teaching metaverse is that it can provide an immersive and interactive teaching field for teachers and students, simultaneously meeting the teaching and learning needs of teachers and students in both the physical world and virtual world. This study constructs experiential situational English-teaching scenario and convolutional neural networks (CNNs)–recurrent neural networks (RNNs) fusion models are proposed to recognize students’ emotion electroencephalogram (EEG) in experiential English teaching during the feature space of time domain, frequency domain, and spatial domain. Analyzing EEG data collected by OpenBCI EEG Electrode Cap Kit from students, experiential English-teaching scenario is designed into three types: sequential guidance, comprehensive exploration, and crowd-creation construction. Experimental data analysis of the three kinds of learning activities shows that metaverse-powered experiential situational English teaching can promote the improvement of students’ sense of interactivity, immersion, and cognition, and the accuracy and analysis time of CNN–RNN fusion model is much higher than that of baselines. This study can provide a nice reference for the emotion recognition of students under COVID-19.
