Abstract

Emotion classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is currently a research hotspot in the intersection of brain science and artificial intelligence, which is of great significance for revealing the mechanism of human emotions and achieving human-computer emotional interaction. In recent years, deep learning technology has made remarkable progress in the emotion classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. This paper reviews the current research status of deep learning in the emotion classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, analyzes the application characteristics and advantages of common deep learning models in this field, discusses key technologies such as data preprocessing, feature extraction, and model optimization, and looks forward to future research directions, aiming to provide a reference for the further development of this field.
