The paper introduces Dual-Path Spatiotemporal Contrastive Learning (DP-STCL) for cross-subject EEG emotion recognition, using two complementary encoders—Temporal-to-Spatial and Spatial-to-Temporal—to model EEG data under different integration orders. It enforces consistency of high-level emotion representations across these paths and across subjects through three complementary relations, enhancing stability and discriminability. A LoRA-based few-shot adaptation strategy is added to handle limited labeled data from target subjects, and experiments on SEED, SEED-IV, SEED-V, and FACED datasets show DP-STCL outperforming existing methods.

In clinical motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) decoding, cross-day transferability and online operation remain two critical challenges. Hypergraphs can improve transferability by capturing higher-order sample relationships, yet existing hypergraph-based methods for online emotion recognition neglect the cross-day benefits of Riemannian geometry widely adopted in EEG transfer learning.
arXiv:2606. 00170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, emotion recognition based on physiological signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG) has gained considerable attention, as internal physiological data offer greater objectivity and reliability compared to external behavioral data like facial expressions.

EEG-based emotion recognition is critical for mental health monitoring and affective brain-computer interfaces, yet existing deep learning approaches often treat emotion classes as isolated labels, ignoring their psychological interdependencies. We propose a graph-regularized learning framework that conceptualizes emotions as nodes in a graph where edges encode proximity based on dimensional emotion theories.

SPDAlign is an interpretable framework that aligns domain-specific EEG data by applying linear transformations on the Symmetric Positive Definite manifold, correcting mean differences and global rotations across domains using Wasserstein Procrustes. It leverages a generative model of EEG to recover distribution shifts caused by factors like head geometry, and demonstrates competitive performance on extensive public EEG datasets. The method is globally linear, enabling identification of frequency ranges, spatial patterns, and cross-subject variability without requiring labeled calibration data.
