Health data is scarce precisely because it needs protecting. You cannot collect EEG recordings in arbitrary volume, and without volume no model learns reliably. So I generated synthetic EEG signals with a diffusion model to enlarge the dataset and improve emotion recognition.
Transforming the signal into the frequency domain with an FFT raised classification accuracy by up to 20 percentage points over the same dataset without synthetic data. On identical features, though, a GAN came out ahead on three of the four emotion dimensions. Tested on DEAP, EEG recordings from 32 participants.
