Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Human–computer interaction is increasingly utilized in smart homes, industry 4.0 and personal health. Emotion recognition connects several disciplines, i.e., psychology, electronics/sensors, signal processing, and machine learning. Many techniques have been utilized to extract emotions from signals, including deep learning and speech analysis and so on. In human–computer interaction (HCI) applications, it is essential for the machine, such as a computer or a robot, to measure, understand, simulate, and react to human emotions. Thus, emotion recognition is an important component for human–computer interaction (HCI).

We invite original research papers and review articles on human–computer interaction (HCI)-related emotion recognition innovations, including but not limited to the following topics around emotion recognition:

  • Emotion recognition;
  • Speech emotion recognition;
  • Affective database creation and experimental datasets;
  • Data preprocessing;
  • Non-intrusive sensor technologies;
  • Emotion recognition using mobile phones and smart bracelets;
  • Machine-learning techniques for emotion recognition; 
  • Deep learning for emotion recognition;
  • Emotion recognition in smart homes;
  • Emotion recognition in industry 4.0;
  • Emotion recognition using physiological signals

Research on emotion recognition based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is important for human emotion detection and improvements in mental health. However, the importance of EEG signals from different brain regions and frequency bands for emotion recognition is different. For this problem, this paper proposes the Capsule–Transformer method for multi-region and multi-band EEG emotion recognition. First, the EEG features are extracted from different brain regions and frequency bands and combined into feature vectors which are input into the fully connected network for feature dimension alignment. Then, the feature vectors are inputted into the Transformer for calculating the self-attention of EEG features among different brain regions and frequency bands to obtain contextual information. Finally, utilizing capsule networks captures the intrinsic relationship between local and global features. It merges features from different brain regions and frequency bands, adaptively computing weights for each brain region and frequency band. Based on the DEAP dataset, experiments show that the Capsule–Transformer method achieves average classification accuracies of 96.75%, 96.88%, and 96.25% on the valence, arousal, and dominance dimensions, respectively. Furthermore, in emotion recognition experiments conducted on individual brain regions or frequency bands, it was observed that the frontal lobe exhibits the highest average classification accuracy, followed by the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Additionally, emotion recognition performance is superior for high-frequency band EEG signals compared to low-frequency band signals. Full article
