Abstract: The impact of emotions on health, especially stress, is receiving increasing attention. It is important to provide a non-invasive affect detection system that can be continuously monitored for a long period of time. Multi-sensor fusion strategies can better improve the performance of affect detection models, but there are also problems such as insufficient feature extraction and poor spatiotemporal feature fusion. Therefore, this study proposes a feature-level fusion method based on long short-term memory and one-dimensional convolutional neural network to extract temporal and spatial features of electrocardiogram, electromyogram, electrical activity, temperature, accelerator and response data, respectively, and then fuse them in a summation fashion for affect and stress detection. In particular, we added the tanh activation function before feature fusion, which can improve the model’s performance. We used the wearable affect and stress detection dataset to train the model, which includes three different emotion states (neutral, stress, and amusement) for three-class emotion classification with accuracy and F1-scores of 87.82% and 86.68%, respectively. Due to the importance of stress, we also studied binary classification for stress detection, where neutral and amusement were combined as non-stress, with accuracy and F1-scores of 94.9% and 94.98%, respectively. The performance of the proposed model outperforms other control models and can effectively improve the performance of affect and stress detection, and promote medical care, health care and elderly care.
