Abstract

In this work, a comparison between two different emotion elicitation procedures, the Mirror Neuron System (MNS)-based one, which refers to the affective model of the six basic emotions, and Valence/Arousal-based one, is attempted with regard to their ability to evoke human emotions. Towards that the mutual information between left and right frontal brain hemispheres was exploited in order to define a metric for their reliability. EEG recordings from 16 subjects were captured and the concluding results showed a relative superiority of the MNS-based emotion elicitation technique in contrast with the Valence/Arousal-based one.
