EEG-based emotion charting for Parkinson's disease patients using Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks and cross dataset learning.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) based emotion classification reflects the actual and intrinsic emotional state, resulting in more reliable, natural, and meaningful human-computer interaction with applications in entertainment consumption behavior, interactive brain-computer interface, and monitoring of psychological health of patients in the domain of e-healthcare. Challenges of EEG-based emotion recognition in real-world applications are variations among experimental settings and cognitive health conditions. Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, resulting in impaired recognition and expression of emotions. The deficit of emotional expression poses challenges for the healthcare services provided to PD patients. This study proposes 1D-CRNN-ELM architecture, which combines one-dimensional Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (1D-CRNN) with an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), robust for the emotion detection of PD patients, also available for cross dataset learning with various emotions and experimental settings. In the proposed framework, after EEG preprocessing, the trained CRNN can use as a feature extractor with ELM as the classifier, and again this trained CRNN can be used for learning of new emotions set with fine-tuning of other datasets. This paper also applied cross dataset learning of emotions by training with PD patients datasets and fine-tuning with publicly available datasets of AMIGOS and SEED-IV, and vice versa. Random splitting of train and test data with 80 - 20 ratio resulted in an accuracy of 97.75% for AMIGOS, 83.20% for PD, and 86.00% for HC with six basic emotion classes. Fine-tuning of trained architecture with four emotions of the SEED-IV dataset results in 92.5% accuracy. To validate the generalization of our results, leave one subject (patient) out cross-validation is also incorporated with mean accuracies of 95.84% for AMIGOS, 75.09% for PD, 77.85% for HC, and 84.97% for SEED-IV is achieved. Only a 1 - sec segment of EEG signal from 14 channels is enough to detect emotions with this performance. The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art studies to classify EEG-based emotions with publicly available datasets, provide cross dataset learning, and validate the robustness of the deep learning framework for real-world application of psychological healthcare monitoring of Parkinson's disease patients.
