The most crucial feature of human computer interaction is computers and computer-based applications to infer the emotional states of humans or others human agents based on covert and/or overt signals of those emotional states. In emotion recognition, bio-signals reflect sequences of neural activity induced by emotional events and also, have many technical advantages. The aim of this study is to classify six emotions (joy, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and neutral) that human have often experienced in real life from multi-channel bio-signals using machine learning algorithms. We have measured physiological responses of three-hundred participants for acquisition of bio-signals such as electrodermal activity, electrocardiograph, skin temperature, and photoplethysmograph during six emotions induction. Also, for emotion classification, we have extracted eighteen features from the signals and performed emotion classification using five algorithms, linear discriminant analysis, Na?ve Bayes, classification and regression tree, self-organization map and support vector machine. The used algorithms were evaluated by only training, 10-fold cross-validation and repeated random sub-sampling validation. We have obtained recognition accuracy from 42.4 to 100% for only training and 39.2 to 53.9% for testing. Also, the result for testing showed that an accuracy of emotion recognition by Na?ve Bayes and linear discriminant analysis were highest (53.9%, 52.7%) and was lowest by support vector machine (39.2%). This means that Na?ve Bayes is the best emotion recognition algorithm for basic emotions. To apply to real system, we have to discuss in the view point of testing and this means that it needs to apply various methodologies for the accuracy improvement of emotion recognition in the future analysis.
