Personality Prediction with Hybrid Genetic Programming using Portable EEG Device

This work suggests a method to identify personality traits regarding the targeted film clips in real-time. Such film clips elicit feelings in people while capturing their brain impulses using the electroencephalogram (EEG) devices and examining personality traits. The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) paradigm for determining personality is employed in this study. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) approach is used for feature extraction, and we have used hybrid genetic programming (HGP) for EEG data classification. We used a single-channel NeuroSky MindWave 2 dry electrode unit to obtain the EEG data. In order to collect the data, thirty Hindi and English video clips were placed in a conventional database. Fifty people volunteered to participate in this study and willingly provided brain signals. Using this dataset, we have generated four two-class HGP classifiers (HGP1, HGP2, HGP3, and HGP4), one for each group of MBTI traits overall classification accuracy of the HGP classifier as 82.25% for 10-fold cross-validation partition.
