A Multi-Scale Temporal Framework with Dynamic Fusion for EEG-Based Emotion Recognition

Mixed emotions represent a clinically relevant but still underexplored target for automatic emotion recognition. EEG provides millisecond-level access to neural activity, yet most EEG pipelines analyze the signal through a single temporal window, thereby fixing the temporal structure available to the model. This study introduces a multi-scale temporal framework for EEG-based emotion recognition. The EEG waveform is decomposed into windows of one or several durations, processed by a shared attention-based encoder, and integrated through a dynamic fusion module that assigns sample-specific weights across temporal scales. The framework is evaluated under a subject-independent protocol in binary and three-class settings, with the three-class task including the mixed affective category. The best results are 65.22% for the two-class task and 45.43% for the three-class task. Both are obtained with three-scale dynamic-fusion configurations and remain substantially above the full-signal baseline. The best-performing temporal scales differ between the two tasks. Dynamic fusion outperforms concatenation in the highest-scoring two-class configuration and slightly exceeds it in the highest-scoring three-class configuration, although these multi-scale settings require substantially more computation than the full-signal baseline.

A Unified Tokenization Framework for Pain Recognition using Heterogeneous 3D Modalities

Pain is a complex and pervasive phenomenon affecting a large percentage of the population, and accurate assessment is essential for effective clinical management and intervention. Computational pain recognition systems enable continuous monitoring, support clinical decision-making, and help mitigate pain-related distress and functional decline. This study introduces a unified tokenization framework for heterogeneous 3D modalities in pain recognition that provides a single processing pipeline across behavioral and brain-activity 3D data, without requiring separate architectures for each modality or handcrafted inductive biases. The framework preserves spatial, temporal, and time--frequency structure while mapping diverse inputs into a shared token space. Extensive experiments show that the proposed approach effectively processes facial videos and fNIRS data in both raw-signal and spectrogram-based representations. On the AI4Pain benchmark dataset, the proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance while maintaining high computational efficiency and enabling real-time assessment on both GPU and CPU hardware.
