Summary
Multisensory stimuli, like olfactory cues, improve electroencephalography (EEG) emotion recognition accuracy. A novel CNN-BiLSTM-Residual Network (CBR-Net) model shows superior performance in identifying individuals based on EEG signals.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Computer Science
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Electroencephalography (EEG)-based personal identification is sensitive to emotional state fluctuations, impacting accuracy.
- Multisensory stimuli, including video and olfactory cues, can modulate emotional responses and potentially enhance EEG-based identification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel deep learning model, CNN-BiLSTM-Residual Network (CBR-Net), for improved EEG-based identification.
- To establish a multisensory emotional EEG dataset using video-only and olfactory-enhanced video stimuli.
- To evaluate the impact of olfactory enhancement on EEG signal emotional intensity and identification accuracy.
Main Methods:
- Development of the CBR-Net model integrating Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for spatial features, Bi-LSTM for temporal dynamics, and residual connections.
- Creation of a novel dataset comprising EEG signals recorded under video-only and olfactory-enhanced video conditions.
- Comparative analysis of CBR-Net performance against traditional machine learning and other deep learning models.
Main Results:
- Olfactory-enhanced video stimulation significantly increased EEG signal emotional intensity, leading to improved recognition accuracy.
- CBR-Net achieved high accuracy across emotions: 96.59% for negative, 95.42% for positive, and 94.25% for neutral.
- Ablation studies indicated Bi-LSTM's importance for neutral emotions and CNN's for positive emotions.
- CBR-Net outperformed existing models in EEG-based identification across all emotional states.
Conclusions:
- CBR-Net effectively enhances identity recognition accuracy using EEG signals.
- Multisensory stimuli, particularly olfactory enhancement, offer significant advantages for improving EEG-based identification.
- The findings support the integration of multisensory emotional stimulation in biometric systems.
