Abstract

Electroencephalogram (EEG) records brain activity using electrophysiological markers and is a comprehensive representation of the dynamic activity of human brain neurons. EEG can be used to study human facial expression recognition. In fact, entropy values of EEG can fully reflect changes in facial expressions. This paper improves the sample entropy and the permutation entropy by introducing equal probability symbolization and applies the equal probability symbolization entropy to facial expression recognition. The original permutation entropy, sample entropy and equal-probability symbolization entropy values are calculated for the three expressions of anger, fear and happiness. The results demonstrate that equal-probability symbolization entropy can distinguish human facial expressions clearly and accurately.
