Abstract

Emotional recognition based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is an important area of research in the field of compatible computing. There exist many feature extraction methods to extract EEG features, but it is dependent on the extensive knowledge of the EEG domain. The existing research has studied various feature extractions used for studying EEG for the understanding of emotions for decision-making. The major limitation is that there exists less research to provide details of EEG features in a single research. The major studies are selected based on the search string. With the help of a search string, we are reviewing only 50 studies. Therefore, the current study aims to review the mechanisms for the removal of the sensory perception element from the EEG and suggests the use of multiple strategies as part of EEG-based emotional recognition.
