EEG-Based Micro-Expression Recognition: Flexible Brain Network Reconfiguration Supporting Micro-Expressions Under Positive Emotion by Chen J, Zhao X, Xiong Z, Liu G

“…Electroencephalography (EEG)-based micro-expression recognition has gained attention for its objectivity and resistance to interference, unlike image-based methods. However, the neural mechanisms of micro-expressions remain unclear, limiting the development of EEG-based recognition technology.Methods: We explored the brain reorganization mechanisms of micro-expressions (compared with macro-expressions and neutral expressions) under positive emotions across global networks, functional network modules, and hub brain regions using EEG, graph theory analysis, and functional connectivity.Results: In global network, micro-expressions demonstrated higher network efficiency, clustering coefficient, and local efficiency, along with shorter average path lengths. …”
