Emotion Recognition with EEG Signals Using Transformer-Based Trainable Adjacency Matrix and Graph Convolutional Network
摘要
Electroencephalogram (EEG) based emotion recognition has gained attention for applications in affective computing, mental health, and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). However, modeling EEG’s complex, non-stationary spatiotemporal patterns remains challenging. This paper proposes a deep learning model, Transformer-Based Trainable Adjacency Relation Driven Graph Convolution Network (T-TARDGCN), which captures multiscale spatiotemporal dynamics for emotion classification. The model integrates: Transformer-Trainable Adjacency Relation (T-TAR) module to model long-range temporal dependencies and build dynamic sample-specific graphs, and GCN with Chebyshev filters to analyze inter-channel relations. The proposed model is evaluated on the DEAP dataset, T-TARDGCN achieves 75.71% accuracy, outperforming state-of-the-art methods, with Valence: 71.07%, Arousal: 83.93%, and Dominance: 72.14%.
