Symptoms: Black screen, no camera feed

Solutions:

# 1. Check camera permissions # Windows: Settings → Privacy → Camera # macOS: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Camera # Linux: Check /dev/video* permissions # 2. Try different camera index EMO_CAMERA_INDEX=1 emotion-recognition # 3. Check camera is not in use lsof | grep video # Linux/macOS # Close other applications using camera # 4. Test with OpenCV directly python -c " import cv2 cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) print(f'Camera opened: {cap.isOpened()}') cap.release() "

Symptoms: Error message "File not found"

Solutions:

# 1. Verify data path ls data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/ # 2. Check file format file data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/s01.dat # Should show: data # 3. Verify permissions chmod -R 755 data/deap/ # 4. Test loading manually python -c " import pickle with open('data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/s01.dat', 'rb') as f:  data = pickle.load(f, encoding='latin1')  print('Success!') "

Symptoms: CPU at 100%, UI laggy

Solutions:

# 1. Increase update intervals # Edit .env: PLOT_UPDATE_INTERVAL=200 # Instead of 100 CAMERA_UPDATE_INTERVAL=66 # Instead of 33 # 2. Disable face detection # Uncheck "Enable Face Detection" # 3. Close unused tabs # Only keep active tab open # 4. Reduce plot complexity # Show fewer channels in EEG view

Symptoms: "MTCNN not available" warning

Solutions:

# 1. Install TensorFlow pip install mtcnn tensorflow # 2. For CPU-only (smaller download) pip install mtcnn tensorflow-cpu # 3. For GPU (requires CUDA) pip install mtcnn tensorflow-gpu # 4. Verify installation python -c " from mtcnn import MTCNN print('MTCNN available!') "

Symptoms: "No module named 'PyQt6'"

Solutions:

# 1. Reinstall PyQt6 pip uninstall PyQt6 pip install PyQt6 # 2. Check Python version python --version # Must be 3.10+ # 3. Verify installation python -c " from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication print('PyQt6 installed!') "

Symptoms: MyPy errors in IDE but code runs

Solutions:

# 1. Install type stubs pip install types-requests types-Pillow # 2. Update MyPy configuration # pyproject.toml [tool.mypy] ignore_missing_imports = true # 3. Restart IDE # VS Code: Reload Window # PyCharm: File → Invalidate Caches

Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:

# Method 1: Environment variable EMO_DEBUG=true EMO_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG emotion-recognition # Method 2: Edit .env DEBUG=true LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG # Method 3: Command-line argument (if implemented) emotion-recognition --debug

Check logs:

# View real-time logs tail -f logs/emotion_recognition.log # Search for errors grep ERROR logs/emotion_recognition.log # Search for warnings grep WARNING logs/emotion_recognition.log

Q: What is emotion recognition?

A: Emotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotions using physiological signals (EEG, PPG, etc.) or visual cues (facial expressions). This system uses multiple modalities for robust emotion detection.

Q: What emotions can be detected?

A: The system uses the arousal-valence model, which maps emotions in a 2D space:

• High Arousal + High Valence: Happy, Excited
• High Arousal + Low Valence: Angry, Stressed
• Low Arousal + High Valence: Calm, Relaxed
• Low Arousal + Low Valence: Sad, Bored

Q: Is this ready for production use?

A: Yes! Version 2.0 is production-ready with:

• ✅ 100% type safety
• ✅ Comprehensive testing
• ✅ Zero linting errors
• ✅ Security scanning
• ✅ Performance optimizations

Q: Why PyQt6 instead of PyQt5?

A: PyQt6 offers:

• Better performance
• Modern Python packaging
• Active development
• Better type hints support

Q: Can I use my own EEG device?

A: Yes, but you'll need to write a custom data loader. The system expects data in DEAP format (40 channels, 128 Hz).

Q: Can I add new ML algorithms?

A: Yes! The architecture is extensible:

# src/emotion_recognition/core/ml_models.py class CustomModel(BaseModel): def train(self, X, y): # Your training code pass def predict(self, X): # Your prediction code pass

Q: How accurate is the emotion detection?

A: Current accuracy:

• Arousal: ~85-90% (KNN)
• Valence: ~80-85% (KNN)
• Face Detection: ~95%+ (MTCNN)

Accuracy depends on:

• Data quality
• Algorithm choice
• Feature engineering
• Subject variability

Q: Where can I get the DEAP dataset?

A: Download from DEAP website. Registration required.

Q: Can I use my own dataset?

A: Yes, but you'll need to adapt the data loader. Expected format:

{ "data": np.array, # Shape: (trials, channels, samples) "labels": np.array # Shape: (trials, 4) # arousal, valence, dominance, liking }

Q: How much storage do I need?

A: Breakdown:

• Application: ~500 MB
• DEAP dataset: ~3.4 GB
• Models (saved): ~100 MB
• Logs: ~50 MB
• Total: ~5 GB recommended

Q: Is my data collected or sent anywhere?

A: No. All data processing is local. No telemetry or analytics.

Q: Can I use this offline?

A: Yes! Once dependencies are installed, no internet connection is needed.

Q: Is camera data stored?

A: No. Camera frames are processed in real-time and not saved unless you explicitly export them.
