Analysis of the effect of music therapy on psychological anxiety relief based on artificial intelligence recognition

Abstract

In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of EEG emotion recognition and avoid the problems of poor decomposition effect and long time consumption caused by manual parameter selection, this paper constructs an EEG emotion recognition model based on optimized variational modal decomposition. Aiming at the modal aliasing problem existing in traditional decomposition methods, the KH algorithm is used to search for the optimal penalty factor and the number of decomposition layers of the VMD, and KH-VMD decomposition is performed on the EEG signals in the DEAP dataset. The time-domain, frequency-domain, and nonlinear features of IMFs under different time windows are extracted, respectively, and the Catboost classifier completes the construction of the EEG emotion recognition model and emotion classification. Considering the two conditions of the complexity of the network structure of the KH-VMD model and the average classification accuracy of different brain regions in different music environments, the WEE features of the target EEG can constitute the optimal classification network by taking the WEE features of the target EEG as the input of the KH-VMD classification model. At this time, the average classification accuracy that can be obtained with differentiated brain regions and differentiated music environments is 0.8314 and 0.8204. After 8 weeks of music therapy, the experimental group’s low anxiety scores of pleasure and arousal on the Negative Picture SAM scale were 3.11 and 3.2, which were significantly lower than those of the control group’s low-anxiety subjects. The experimental group with high anxiety had anxiety scores and sleep quality scores that were 5.23 and 3.01 points lower than before the intervention. Therefore, music therapy can effectively alleviate psychological anxiety and enhance sleep quality.
