Abstract
In this paper a novel methodology for assessing source connectivity applied to emotional states discrimination is proposed. The method involves (i) designing the set of Regions-of-interest (ROIs) over the cortical surface, (ii) estimating the ROI time-courses using a dynamic inverse problem formulation, (iii) estimating the pairwise functional connectivity between ROIs, and (iv) feeding a Support Vector Machine Classifier with the estimated connectivity to discriminate between emotional states. The performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated over a real database where obtained results improve state-of-the-art methods that either compute connectivity between pairs of EEG channels or do not consider the non-stationary nature of the EEG data.
