The classification of emotions using electroencephalography (EEG) signals is inherently challenging due to the intricate nature of brain activity. Overcoming inconsistencies in EEG signals and establishing a universally applicable sentiment analysis model are essential objectives. This study introduces an innovative approach to cross-subject emotion recognition, employing a genetic algorithm (GA) to eliminate non-informative frames. Then, the optimal frames identified by the GA undergo spatial feature extraction using common spatial patterns (CSP) and the logarithm of variance. Subsequently, these features are input into a Transformer network to capture spatial-temporal features, and the emotion classification is executed using a fully connected (FC) layer with a Softmax activation function. Therefore, the innovations of this paper include using a limited number of channels for emotion classification without sacrificing accuracy, selecting optimal signal segments using the GA, and employing the Transformer network for high-accuracy and high-speed classification. The proposed method undergoes evaluation on two publicly accessible datasets, SEED and SEED-V, across two distinct scenarios. Notably, it attains mean accuracy rates of 99.96% and 99.51% in the cross-subject scenario, and 99.93% and 99.43% in the multi-subject scenario for the SEED and SEED-V datasets, respectively. Noteworthy is the outperformance of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art (SOTA) in both scenarios for both datasets, thus underscoring its superior efficacy. Additionally, comparing the accuracy of individual subjects with previous works in cross subject scenario further confirms the superiority of the proposed method for both datasets.

Network security is very important when sending confidential data through the network. Cryptography is the science of hiding information, and a combination of cryptography solutions with cognitive science starts a new branch called cognitive cryptography that guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data. Brain signals as a biometric indicator can convert to a binary code which can be used as a cryptographic key. This paper proposes a new method for decreasing the error of EEG- based key generation process. Discrete Fourier Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform, Autoregressive Modeling, Energy Entropy, and Sample Entropy were used to extract features. All features are used as the input of new method based on window segmentation protocol then are converted to the binary mode. We obtain 0.76%, and 0.48% mean Half Total Error Rate (HTER) for 18-channel and single-channel cryptographic key generation systems respectively.
