Characterization framework for Ex-combatants based on EEG and behavioral features

Abstract

This paper presents a framework to characterize the emotional processing of Colombian ex-combatants from illegal groups. The classification process is performed using EEGERP data and behavioral features from psychological tests. The results show that ex-combatant and civilian populations can be automatically separated using supervised techniques.With this, we can provide a decision support system for psychologists to improve current interventions aimed to help ex-combatants to make a successful reintegration to civilian life. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017.
