In brain-computer-interface (BCI) devices, signal acquisition via reducing the electrode channels can reduce the computational complexity of models and filter out the irrelevant noise. Differential entropy (DE) plays an important role in emotional components of signals, which can reflect the area activity differences. Therefore, to extract distinctive feature signals and improve the recognition accuracy based on feature signals, a method of DE feature signal recognition based on a Convolutional Gated Recurrent Unit network was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the DE and power spectral density (PSD) of each original signal were mapped to two topographic maps, and the activated channels could be selected in activation modes. Secondly, according to the position of original electrodes, 1D feature signal sequences with four bands were reconstructed into a 3D feature signal matrix, and a radial basis function interpolation was used to fill in zero values. Then, the 3D feature signal matrices were fed into a 2D Convolutional Neural Network (2DCNN) for spatial feature extraction, and the 1D feature signal sequences were fed into a bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) network for temporal feature extraction. Finally, the spatial-temporal features were fused by a fully connected layer, and recognition experiments based on DE feature signals at the different time scales were carried out on a DEAP dataset. The experimental results showed that there were different activation modes at different time scales, and the reduction of the electrode channel could achieve a similar accuracy with all channels. The proposed method achieved 87.89% on arousal and 88.69% on valence.
