<jats:p>Facial expression recognition (FER) is essential for discerning human emotions and is applied extensively in big data analytics, healthcare, security, and user experience enhancement. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of ten state-of-the-art deep learning models—VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, ResNet101, DenseNet, GoogLeNet V1, MobileNet V1, EfficientNet V2, ShuffleNet V2, and RepVGG—on the task of facial expression recognition using the FER2013 dataset. Key performance metrics, including test accuracy, training time, and weight file size, were analyzed to assess the learning efficiency, generalization capabilities, and architectural innovations of each model. EfficientNet V2 and ResNet50 emerged as top performers, achieving high accuracy and stable convergence using compound scaling and residual connections, enabling them to capture complex emotional features with minimal overfitting. DenseNet, GoogLeNet V1, and RepVGG also demonstrated strong performance, leveraging dense connectivity, inception modules, and re-parameterization techniques, though they exhibited slower initial convergence. In contrast, lightweight models such as MobileNet V1 and ShuffleNet V2, while excelling in computational efficiency, faced limitations in accuracy, particularly in challenging emotion categories like “fear” and “disgust”. The results highlight the critical trade-offs between computational efficiency and predictive accuracy, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate architecture based on application-specific requirements. This research contributes to ongoing advancements in deep learning, particularly in domains such as facial expression recognition, where capturing subtle and complex patterns is essential for high-performance outcomes.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Detecting emotions is a growing field aiming to comprehend and interpret human emotions from various data sources, including text, voice, and physiological signals. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a unique and promising approach among these sources. EEG is a non-invasive monitoring technique that records the brain’s electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp’s surface. It is used in clinical and research contexts to explore how the human brain responds to emotions and cognitive stimuli. Recently, its use has gained interest in real-time emotion detection, offering a direct approach independent of facial expressions or voice. This is particularly useful in resource-limited scenarios, such as brain–computer interfaces supporting mental health. The objective of this work is to evaluate the classification of emotions (positive, negative, and neutral) in EEG signals using machine learning and deep learning, focusing on Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNN), based on the analysis of critical attributes of the EEG signal (Differential Entropy (DE), Power Spectral Density (PSD), Differential Asymmetry (DASM), Rational Asymmetry (RASM), Asymmetry (ASM), Differential Causality (DCAU)). The electroencephalography dataset used in the research was the public SEED dataset (SJTU Emotion EEG Dataset), obtained through auditory and visual stimuli in segments from Chinese emotional movies. The experiment employed to evaluate the model results was “subject-dependent”. In this method, the Deep Neural Network (DNN) achieved an accuracy of 86.08%, surpassing SVM, albeit with significant processing time due to the optimization characteristics inherent to the algorithm. The GCNN algorithm achieved an average accuracy of 89.97% in the subject-dependent experiment. This work contributes to emotion detection in EEG, emphasizing the effectiveness of different models and underscoring the importance of selecting appropriate features and the ethical use of these technologies in practical applications. The GCNN emerges as the most promising methodology for future research.</jats:p>
