Affective State Classification Through CMAC-Based Model of Affects (CCMA) Using SVM

A number of computational models have been proposed to perform emotion profiling through affective state classification using EEG signals. However, such models do not include both temporal and spatial dynamic of the signals. It is also observed that the performance of classifying emotion using the existing models produce high classification accuracy on one subject, but not on different subjects. Thus, in this paper CMAC-based Computational Model of Affects (CCMA) is proposed as feature extraction for the classification task. CCMA keeps the temporal and spatial dynamics of EEG signals to produce better classification performance. Using Support Vector Machine (SVM) as classifier, the features produce higher classification accuracy for heterogeneous test.
