This study presents a convolutional neural network-based approach to emotion valence prediction model development using 4-channel headband EEG data as well as its evaluation based on computer vision emotion valence recognition. We trained a model on the publicly available FACED and SEED datasets and tested it on a newly collected dataset recorded using a wearable BrainBit headband. The model\u2019s performance is evaluated using both standard train\u2013validation\u2013test splitting and a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation strategy. Additionally, the model is evaluated on computer vision-based emotion recognition system to assess the reliability and consistency of EEG-based emotion prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that the CNN model achieves competitive accuracy in predicting emotion valence from EEG signals, despite the challenges posed by limited channel availability and individual variability. The findings show the usability of compact EEG devices for real-time emotion recognition and their potential integration into adaptive user interfaces and mental health applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bdcc9110280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]],"date-time":"2025-11-05T07:58:05Z","timestamp":1762329485000},"page":"280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-Dataset Emotion Valence Prediction Approach from 4-Channel EEG: CNN Model and Multi-Modal Evaluation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3307-1497","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir","family":"Romaniuk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg 199178, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6503-1447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexey","family":"Kashevnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Petersburg Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg 199178, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Romaniuk, V., and Kashevnik, A.
