This research introduces the Group Resonance Network (GRN), a novel architecture designed to overcome inter-subject variability in EEG-based emotion recognition by leveraging shared group regularities and prototype-induced resonance. By integrating individual dynamics with multi-subject coherence modeling, the method demonstrates consistent performance improvements over existing baselines in cross-subject settings. The work highlights significant advances in handling non-stationary biological signals through learnable prototypes and leakage-safe reference construction.
Group Resonance Network: Learnable Prototypes and Multi-Subject Resonance for EEG Emotion Recognition
arXiv:2603.11119v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG)-based emotion recognition remains challenging in cross-subject settings due to severe inter-subject variability. Existing methods mainly learn subject-invariant features, but often under-exploit stimulus-locked group regularities shared across subjects. To address this issue, we propose the Group Resonance Network (GRN), which integrates individual EEG dynamics with offline group resonance modeling. GRN contains three components: an individual encoder for band-wise EEG features, a set of learnable group prototypes for prototype-induced resonance, and a multi-subject resonance branch that encodes PLV/coherence-based synchrony with a small reference set. A resonance-aware fusion module combines individual and group-level representations for final classification. Experiments on SEED and DEAP under both subject-dependent and leave-one-subject-out protocols show that GRN consistently outperforms competitive baselines, while additional analyses confirm the effects of prototype learning, PLV/coherence resonance, and leakage-safe reference construction.
