Due to the practical applications of EEG emotion calculation, researchers often use edge calculation to reduce data transmission times, however, as EEG involves a large amount of data, determining how to effectively extract features and reduce the amount of calculation is still the focus of abundant research. Researchers have proposed many EEG feature extraction methods. However, these methods have problems such as high time complexity and insufficient precision. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce an innovative method for obtaining reliable distinguishing features from EEG signals. This feature extraction method combines differential entropy with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) that can be applied in feature extraction of emotional EEG signals. We use a three-category sentiment EEG dataset to conduct experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed feature extraction method can significantly improve the performance of the EEG classification: Compared with the result of the original dataset, the average accuracy increases by 68%, which is 7% higher than the result obtained when only using differential entropy in feature extraction. The total execution time shows that the proposed method has a lower time complexity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19071631","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,5]],"date-time":"2019-04-05T11:36:01Z","timestamp":1554464161000},"page":"1631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["A Feature Extraction Method Based on Differential Entropy and Linear Discriminant Analysis for Emotion Recognition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Dong-Wei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, XueYuan Road, Shi Qi District, Zhongshan 528400, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Macau University of Science and Technology, Avenida Wai Long, Taipa, Macau 999078, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei-Qi","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, XueYuan Road, Shi Qi District, Zhongshan 528400, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Macau University of Science and Technology, Avenida Wai Long, Taipa, Macau 999078, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao-Heng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Macau University of Science and Technology, Avenida Wai Long, Taipa, Macau 999078, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, XueYuan Road, Shi Qi District, Zhongshan 528400, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chun-Jian","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, XueYuan Road, Shi Qi District, Zhongshan 528400, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business, Beijing Institute of Technology, JinFeng Road, TangJiaWan Town, Zhuhai 519000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rashid, U., Niazi, I.K., Signal, N., and Taylor, D.
