• Abstract summary: We propose Contrast Learning method for Inter-Subject Alignment (ISA) for reliable cross-subject emotion recognition. ISA involves maximizing the similarity in EEG signals across subjects when they received the same stimuli in contrast to different ones. A convolutional neural network with depthwise spatial convolution and temporal convolution layers was applied to learn inter-subject representations from raw EEG signals.

• Abstract: Emotion recognition plays a vital role in human-machine interactions and daily healthcare. EEG signals have been reported to be informative and reliable for emotion recognition in recent years. However, the inter-subject variability of emotion-related EEG signals poses a great challenge for the practical use of EEG-based emotion recognition. Inspired by the recent neuroscience studies on inter-subject correlation, we proposed a Contrastive Learning method for Inter-Subject Alignment (CLISA) for reliable cross-subject emotion recognition. Contrastive learning was employed to minimize the inter-subject differences by maximizing the similarity in EEG signals across subjects when they received the same stimuli in contrast to different ones. Specifically, a convolutional neural network with depthwise spatial convolution and temporal convolution layers was applied to learn inter-subject aligned spatiotemporal representations from raw EEG signals. Then the aligned representations were used to extract differential entropy features for emotion classification. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated on our THU-EP dataset with 80 subjects and the publicly available SEED dataset with 15 subjects. Comparable or better cross-subject emotion recognition accuracy (i.e., 72.1% and 47.0% for binary and nine-class classification, respectively, on the THU-EP dataset and 86.3% on the SEED dataset for three-class classification) was achieved as compared to the state-of-the-art methods. The proposed method could be generalized well to unseen emotional stimuli as well. The CLISA method is therefore expected to considerably increase the practicality of EEG-based emotion recognition by operating in a "plug-and-play" manner. Furthermore, the learned spatiotemporal representations by CLISA could provide insights into the neural mechanisms of human emotion processing.
