Existing emotion recognition research is typically limited to static laboratory settings and has not fully handle the changes in emotional states in dynamic scenarios. To address this problem, this paper proposes a method for dynamic continuous emotion recognition based on electroencephalography (EEG) and eye movement signals. Firstly, an experimental paradigm was designed to cover six dynamic emotion transition scenarios including happy to calm, calm to happy, sad to calm, calm to sad, nervous to calm, and calm to nervous. EEG and eye movement data were collected simultaneously from 20 subjects to fill the gap in current multimodal dynamic continuous emotion datasets. In the valence-arousal two-dimensional space, emotion ratings for stimulus videos were performed every five seconds on a scale of 1 to 9, and dynamic continuous emotion labels were normalized. Subsequently, frequency band features were extracted from the preprocessed EEG and eye movement data. A cascade feature fusion approach was used to effectively combine EEG and eye movement features, generating an information-rich multimodal feature vector. This feature vector was input into four regression models including support vector regression with radial basis function kernel, decision tree, random forest, and K-nearest neighbors, to develop the dynamic continuous emotion recognition model. The results showed that the proposed method achieved the lowest mean square error for valence and arousal across the six dynamic continuous emotions. This approach can accurately recognize various emotion transitions in dynamic situations, offering higher accuracy and robustness compared to using either EEG or eye movement signals alone, making it well-suited for practical applications.

Current studies on electroencephalogram (EEG) emotion recognition primarily concentrate on discrete stimulus paradigms under controlled laboratory settings, which cannot adequately represent the dynamic transition characteristics of emotional states during multi-context interactions. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel method for emotion transition recognition that leverages a cross-modal feature fusion and global perception network (CFGPN). Firstly, an experimental paradigm encompassing six types of emotion transition scenarios was designed, and EEG and eye movement data were simultaneously collected from 20 participants, each annotated with dynamic continuous emotion labels. Subsequently, deep canonical correlation analysis integrated with a cross-modal attention mechanism was employed to fuse features from EEG and eye movement signals, resulting in multimodal feature vectors enriched with highly discriminative emotional information. These vectors are then input into a parallel hybrid architecture that combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers. The CNN is employed to capture local time-series features, whereas the Transformer leverages its robust global perception capabilities to effectively model long-range temporal dependencies, enabling accurate dynamic emotion transition recognition. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves the lowest mean square error in both valence and arousal recognition tasks on the dynamic emotion transition dataset and a classic multimodal emotion dataset. It exhibits superior recognition accuracy and stability when compared with five existing unimodal and six multimodal deep learning models. The approach enhances both adaptability and robustness in recognizing emotional state transitions in real-world scenarios, showing promising potential for applications in the field of biomedical engineering.

Objective: To explore deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurrence in patients after right heart catheterization and the effect of anticoagulant therapy. Methods: A total of 171 consecutive patients with electrophysiological study (EPS) and/or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2016-05 were enrolled. All patients had supra-ventricular tachycardia and completed a venous surgery, they were randomly divided into 2 groups: Anticoagulation group,n=87 and Non-anticoagulation group,n=84. Lower extremity vascular Doppler ultrasonography was performed at (24-48) h post-operation to compare the incidence of DVT between 2 groups. Results: There were 13/171 patients were excluded for not completing post-operative lower extremity vascular Doppler ultrasonography including 9 patients in Anticoagulation group and 4 in Non-anticoagulation group. 158 patients finished post-operative examination and follow-up study. Anticoagulation group had 7/78 (8.97%) patients suffered from DVT, Non-anticoagulation group had 41/80 (51.3%) patients suffered from DVT,P<0.001. Conclusion: The incidence of DVT was higher after right heart catheterization without anticoagulation; heparin treatment may reduce DVT occurrence in relevant patients.
