<p>Anxiety is an important factor that affects the academic writing process and the quality of writing. In this paper, we first study the principle of emotional processing of EEG signals and discuss the pre-processing, feature extraction and emotional recognition of EEG signals.

The improved Mallat algorithm is then used to perform data downscaling of the resulting feature dimensions to achieve classification operations and feature selection. Finally, the model was used to assess the second language academic writing anxiety of college students in Japan, and the levels of second language academic writing anxiety of students in Japan with different levels of a second language, length of exposure to a second language, gender, and grade were analyzed. The mean score of academic writing anxiety was 68.04, and the overall level of academic writing anxiety among international students in Japan was moderate.
