Introduction to EEG- and Speech-Based Emotion Recognition

by Priyanka A. Abhang (Author), Bharti W. Gawali (Author), Suresh C. Mehrotra (Author)

Introduction:

If you have ever stopped to think about the vast array of emotions that we feel every day, you might wonder how they are detected in the brain. How does your mind know what you’re feeling, and how can we use that knowledge for more efficient communication with technology? The book “Introduction to EEG and Speech-Based Emotion Recognition Methods” by Priyanka A. Abhang, Bharti W. Gawali, and Suresh C. Mehrotra explores the methods of using electroencephalograms (EEGs) to detect and recognize emotions in the brain. This book is perfect for anyone interested in the science of emotion, brain signals, and how they relate to brain-computer interface (BCI).

Review:

This book starts off by discussing the background of emotions, explaining the different theories of emotions and how they relate to the brain. From there, the authors dive into the methods used for EEG recordings, analyzing the techniques used for acquiring and processing EEG and speech signals for emotion recognition. The authors also explore the technological basics of EEGs and how to operate and record them.

One of the strengths of this book is that the authors take a multilayered approach to emotions, as they are a multimodal entity. They discuss how EEG and speech data can be used in a bimodal emotion recognition system to detect and recognize emotions more accurately. They also provide detailed insight into the science of emotion and the brain signals underlying this phenomenon.

In the later sections of the book, the authors discuss the implementation of EEG-based emotion recognition, classification, and their proposed EEG/speech fusion method. These sections are packed with practical information for those interested in implementing these methods in BCI applications.

One criticism of this book is that the authors assume a certain level of technical understanding. While they explain the basics of EEGs and speech processing, those who are completely new to the topic might find it challenging to follow. However, for those who have a baseline understanding of the technology, this book is a valuable resource.
