ABSTRACT

High-density electroencephalography (EEG) systems provide superior spatial resolution for emotion recognition, but their high cost, complexity, and user discomfort make them impractical for real-world applications. This study presents a practical alternative: an EEG super-resolution paradigm operating in the Power Spectral Density (PSD) feature space rather than the raw signal domain. The proposed Transformer-based architecture reconstructs 62-channel high-density PSD features from sparse inputs of 8, 14, 16, and 32 channels through a subject-independent reconstruction model. Evaluated on the SEED-IV dataset, the proposed method achieves an average Accuracy Preservation Ratio (APR) of 78.45% with 32 channels and 77.92% with 16 channels (Uniform strategy), reaching up to 97.56%. The Uniform channel selection strategy significantly outperforms both Clinical Standard and Hardware Realistic strategies (paired t-test, p<0.01, Bonferroni-corrected). These results demonstrate that low-channel wearable EEG can achieve emotion recognition performance comparable to clinical-grade systems without subject-specific high-density data collection.
