Summary

This study used physiological signals to measure emotional changes induced by imagination. Electroencephalogram (EEG) and autonomic nervous system responses reliably distinguished between different emotional states.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychophysiology
  • Affective Science

Background:

  • Understanding the physiological basis of emotions is crucial for mental health research.
  • Objective measurement of emotional states can enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether specific physiological signals can accurately reflect and differentiate induced emotional states.
  • To determine the reliability of Electroencephalogram (EEG) and autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses in measuring emotions.

Main Methods:

  • Participants underwent induced emotional states (pleasantness, unpleasantness, arousal, relaxation) via imagined situations or pictures.
  • Physiological data, including EEG (Fz, Cz), ECG, GSR, SKT, and RSP, were collected during emotional recall.

  • Signal analysis focused on EEG frequency bands (alpha, beta) and ANS parameters (R-R interval, RSP).

    • Main Results:

    • EEG analysis, specifically alpha/(alpha + beta) and beta/(alpha + beta) ratios in Fz and Cz areas, differentiated emotional states.
    • Autonomic nervous system responses, particularly R-R interval and Respiration (RSP), also showed significant differences.
    • A combination of EEG and ANS parameters proved effective in classifying induced emotions.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific EEG metrics (alpha/beta ratios) and ANS parameters (R-R interval, RSP) are reliable indicators of emotional states.
    • These physiological measures offer objective methods for assessing emotional changes.
    • The findings support the use of psychophysiological signals in emotion research and potentially clinical applications.
