Point-level weakly-supervised temporal sentiment localization (P-WTSL) aims to detect sentiment-relevant segments in untrimmed multimodal videos using timestamp sentiment annotations, which greatly reduces the costly frame-level labeling. To further tackle the challenges of imprecise sentiment boundaries in P-WTSL, we propose the Face-guided Sentiment Boundary Enhancement Network (\textbf{FSENet}), a unified framework that leverages fine-grained facial features to guide sentiment localization. Specifically, our approach \textit{first} introduces the Face-guided Sentiment Discovery (FSD) module, which integrates facial features into multimodal interaction via dual-branch modeling for effective sentiment stimuli clues; We \textit{then} propose the Point-aware Sentiment Semantics Contrast (PSSC) strategy to discriminate sentiment semantics of candidate points (frame-level) near annotation points via contrastive learning, thereby enhancing the model's ability to recognize sentiment boundaries. At \textit{last}, we design the Boundary-aware Sentiment Pseudo-label Generation (BSPG) approach to convert sparse point annotations into temporally smooth supervisory pseudo-labels. Extensive experiments and visualizations on the benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, achieving state-of-the-art performance under full supervision, video-level, and point-level weak supervision, thereby showcasing the strong generalization ability of our FSENet across different annotation settings.

Despite the high accuracy of EEG-based emotion recognition, existing models remain opaque "black boxes", lacking semantic grounding between abstract neural features and human-interpretable states. In this paper, we reframe EEG explainability as a cross-modal generation task, shifting the paradigm from feature attribution to behavioral visualization. We introduce Facial Emoji Proxy Modeling, a novel framework that translates high-dimensional EEG signals into identity-anonymized facial emojis. Guided by the neuroscientific inspiration of neural-facial association, this approach grounds neural representations in the manifold of observable facial dynamics. Technically, our framework integrates FMENet, a specialized backbone modeling expression-relevant spatial synergies, and the Facial Emoji Learning Branch (FELB), which treats emoji reconstruction as a structured semantic regularizer. Extensive experiments on EAV and MMER benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy among EEG-only models. Crucially, it generates semantically faithful facial animations that provide a transparent, privacy-preserving window into the brain's emotional evolution, effectively allowing users to "see the emotion" directly from neural signals.
