Data Augmentation for EEG-Based Emotion Recognition Using Generative Adversarial Networks

One of the greatest limitations in the field of EEG-based emotion recognition is the lack of training samples, which makes it difficult to establish effective models for emotion recognition. Inspired by the excellent achievements of generative models in image processing, we propose a data augmentation model named VAE-D2GAN for EEG-based emotion recognition using a generative […]
