Abstract
This article presents a study involving 87 participants exposed to a stressful scenario in a virtual reality (VR) environment. An algorithm was developed to assign a positive or negative valence based on questionnaire responses. EEG signals were recorded, and a k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm was trained to infer emotional valence from these signals. Our objective is to further develop mathematical models capable of describing the dynamic evolution of emotional and mental states.
