Study aim
-
Comparison of EEG signals before and after visual learning process corresponding to emotions experienced by individuals during the learning, in order to design an emotion recognition system during learning using brain signals.
-
Design
-
Quasi-experimental clinical trial, Before-after design, One intervention group with 20 healthy subjects.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study focuses on recognizing emotions involved in the learning process using biological signals, at Tarbiat Modares University of Iran. The procedure: 1. Identifying individuals with visual learning style to participate in the experiments, using a psychological personality questionnaire, 2. EEG signal acquisition from the participants before and during the visual learning process, 3. Evaluating the learning performance of the subjects based on a written test, 4. Assessing emotions experienced by the subjects during the learning process based on self-report questionnaires, 5. Assigning subjects to two groups of with effective learning (good learning with positive emotions according to stage 3 and 4, respectively) and with ineffective learning (poor learning with negative emotions according to stage 3 and 4, respectively), 6. Within-group and between-group comparison of recorded EEG signals before and during the learning process, to design an EEG-based emotion recognition system. In this step, we will focus on statistical analysis and classification methods.
