final_score: rating: null
review_content: importance_comment: Emotion recognition is a topic of wide interest. 
rigor_comment: It is very difficult to judge the technical rigor of this paper as the methods and results are barely explained. It is not even clear what the classification task even is exactly. The motivation and intro should be much smaller and much more space should be give to explaining the experiment, the data, the features, the classification task, plots of the results, significance tests, and clear interpretation.
clarity_comment: There are very few details given about the methods and results.
intersection_comment: This paper uses machine learning algorithms to classify emotion from EEG.
review_title: Unclear presentation of results

final_score: rating: null
review_content: importance_comment: Emotion detection from neural data could have interesting applications.
rigor_comment: It is very hard to infer from the paper if the analyses have been performed in a rigorous manner. There's no information on exact preprocessing nor a motivation for the use of this collection of ML algorithms. 
clarity_comment: The paper unfortunately remains quite underspecified and has several typos. The reasoning about brain function remains vague.
intersection_comment: Standard application of a suite of ML algorithms to a neural dataset
comment: While the collected dataset could yield interesting observations about neural signatures of emotions I remain unconvinced given the present analyses and interpretation. A clearer description of the followed steps and an interpretation grounded in the neuroscientific literature will benefit the paper.
review_title: Validity of the approach to EEG based emotion detection remains unclear
