Four kinds of objective affects including happiness, sadness, angry and fear, are induced by affective fragments from movies, and ECG signals are recorded by Biopac MP 150 synchronously. In an independent experiment the affective videos are played twice, and in the second presentation the press file of affective re-evaluation is obtained, which registers the subjective experience of participants and help us intercept the reliable affective ECG. The detrended fluctuation analysis is used to quantitate the temporal correlations by the scaling exponent in affective ECG. And the result showed that ECG of happiness, sadness, angry and fear had long-range correlations. Then the scaling exponent is used by the binary classifier of Fisher as an affective feature, and the result showed that the correct recognition rate of happiness, sadness, angry and fear are 89.74%, 90.1%, 70.43%, 84.44% respectively. The whole experiment displays that the nonlinear features have a fine distinction in different emotions.
