In this study, emotion recognition from  Galvanic Skin Response signals was performedusing time domain, wavelet and empirical mode decomposition based features.Valence and arousal have been categorized and relationship between physiologicalsignals and arousal and valence has been studied using k-Nearest Neighbors,Decision Tree, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine algorithms. We haveachieved 81.81% and 89.29% accuracy rate for arousal and valence respectively.  CR - [1] N. Sebe, I.Cohen, and T. S. Huang, “Multimodal Emotion Recognition”, WSPC, June 18, 2004 CR - [2] P.
