Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Brain–computer interface (BCI) plays an important role in intelligent interaction systems, which refers to the direct communication link between the brain and external types of equipment to realize information exchange. As one of the most important research fields in intelligence science, BCI has acquired great improvements and potential applications in various fields such as rehabilitation, affective computing, neuroscience, robotics, and gaming.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present advanced research in the field of BCI, and to highlight major open questions to address the outstanding challenges in EEG signal analysis as well as BCI technology. Papers that address innovative applications and algorithms related to EEG analysis and BCI technology are welcome. This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research and review articles, along with data reports, hypothesis and theory, methods, mini reviews, and study protocol. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • BCI paradigm including MI, SSVEP, P300, etc;
  • EEG signals analysis;
  • EEG-based affective computing;
  • EEG-based auditory attention decoding;
  • EEG-based neuroimaging and neural mechanism;
  • Other brain–computer interface technologies.

Emotion recognition, as an important part of human-computer interaction, is of great research significance and has already played a role in the fields of artificial intelligence, healthcare, and distance education. In recent times, there has been a growing trend in using deep learning techniques for EEG emotion recognition. These methods have shown higher accuracy in recognizing emotions when compared with traditional machine learning methods. However, most of the current EEG emotion recognition performs multi-category single-label prediction, and is a binary classification problem based on the dimensional model. This simplifies the fact that human emotions are mixed and complex. In order to adapt to real-world applications, fine-grained emotion recognition is necessary. We propose a new method for building emotion classification labels using linguistic resource and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN). Additionally, we integrate the frequency domain and spatial features of emotional EEG signals and feed these features into a serial network that combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) for EEG emotion feature learning and classification. We conduct emotion classification experiments on the DEAP dataset, and the results show that our method has an average emotion classification accuracy of 92.98% per subject, validating the effectiveness of the improvements we have made to our emotion classification method. Our method for emotion classification holds potential for future use in the domain of affective computing, such as mental health care, education, social media, and so on. By constructing an automatic emotion analysis system using our method to enable the machine to understand the emotional implications conveyed by the subjects’ EEG signals, it can provide healthcare professionals with valuable information for effective treatment outcomes.
