Abstract: Current advancements within the realm of computational neuroscience, combined with the transformative capabilities of artificial
intelligence (AI), have opened new paths for understanding the human brain’s interconnected complexity. This research exploration integrates
electroencephalography (EEG), computational neuroscience, along with AI toward the investigation of complex cognitive mechanisms and
neural activations associated with the various types of mental states. As a non-invasive tool, EEG mainly captures the internal electrical
activity that reveals the interconnected cognitive processes in real time. By leveraging AI techniques—such as deep learning (DL),
machine learning (ML), transfer learning, and convolutional neural networks (CNN)—this investigation deciphers EEG data to identify
various specific neural patterns accompanying various types of cognitive states, memory formation, and especially toward emotional
responses. To further refine these results and findings, this study organizes applications chronologically, presenting a developmental
perspective on the AI-driven EEG advancements and their significance in detecting nuanced brain activity. This research not only
addresses how experimental methods impact cognitive state reliability but also examines the amygdala’s role in EEG during emotional
stimuli, thus expanding our multimodal level for understanding of emotional and memory-related neural signatures. By merging EEG
data with AI-calibrated models, this investigation proposes new perspectives on the neural basis of attention, perception, and cognitive
function, potentially informing early diagnosis of neurological disorders and enhancing brain-computer interfaces. Through this
multidisciplinary lens, the exploration advances clinical applications and cognitive interventions, highlighting the interplay between
EEG, computational neuroscience, and AI as an essential frontier in terms of both science and neurotechnology.

1. Introduction
The homo sapiens epicenter of cognition retrospect the human
mind, a repository of extraordinary complexity and with a wide range
of leveling depth, has captivated scholars, scientists, and curious
thinkers for many centuries. This complex organ, which is
responsible for generating thoughts, emotions, memories, and
most importantly human behaviors, shapes human experience and
the uniqueness toward individual identity. However, these levels
of complexities in terms of cognition and the underlying
interconnected neural mechanisms still remain an enigma,
sparking continuous inquiry across the diverse disciplines and
domains alike. Today, as rapid technological advancements
rush, the potential toward the decipher of these anonymities has
reached unprecedented levels of apex expandability. At the
forefront of this investigative exploration is the conjunction of
electroencephalography (EEG), computational neuroscience, and
artificial intelligence (AI)—a very powerful troika promising new
and innovative insights into the neural basis of cognitive
computing and its associated emotional processes [1–3].
EEG, a non-invasive technique for recording the brain’s
electrical activity, provides a dynamic view of neural oscillations
linked to various cognitive states and functions. By capturing real-
time neural signals, EEG enables the examination of cognitive
processes with a temporal resolution unattainable by other
neuroimaging techniques. In the recent years, advancements in
EEG technology have allowed for higher precision and spatial
resolution, paving the way for more nuanced explorations of brain
function [4–6]. This research leverages high-resolution EEG data
to investigate key cognitive domains, including attention, memory
formation, and emotion processing, exploring neural signatures
associated with each state.
AI has transfigured neuroscience by empowering the analysis of
many large, complex datasets. Machine learning (ML) algorithms,
including transfer learning and especially deep learning (DL)
