The study of emotions in human-computer interaction has increased in recent years in an attempt to address new user needs. At the same time, it is possible to record brain activity in real-time and discover patterns to relate it to emotional states. This paper describes a machine learning approach to detect emotion from brain activity, recorded as electroencephalograph (EEG) with the Emotic Epoc device, during auditory stimulation. First, we extract features from the EEG signals in order to characterize states of mind in the arousal-valence 2D emotion model. Using these features we apply machine learning techniques to classify EEG signals into high/low arousal and positive/negative valence emotional states. The obtained classifiers may be used to categorize emotions such as happiness, anger, sadness, and calm based on EEG data.
