Low-Cost Video--Time Priors as a Strong Baseline for EEG--fNIRS Emotion Regression on Familiar Videos

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.03618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous emotion regression estimates moment-to-moment valence and arousal while a viewer watches a video. In familiar-video deployment, responses fron training participant-specific estimate, and prior-dominating fixed fusion tests whether physiology adds residual correction. In five-fold subject-held-out evaluation on 24was within 0.05 and 0.32 MAE of fusion in the internal and external evaluations, respectively. Source-explicit ablations showed that video identity and within-video tine accounted for most of the reduction, while EG-FNIRS gains were smaller and varied across participants and videos. These results identify the video-time prior as a strong, low-cost baseline and position EEG-fNIRS as an optional residual signal for familiar-v
