Electroencephalography (EEG)-based emotion recognition captures affective neural signals with high temporal precision, but cross-subject variability and label noise remain critical challenges to its practical healthcare deployment. Existing label-denoising methods lack physiological grounding, while physiology-informed approaches rely on hand-crafted hyperparameters. To bridge these two paradigms, we propose PhyDA, a plug-and-play, tuning-free framework that unifies neurophysiological priors with data-driven label refinement. PhyDA comprises two modules. Since cross-subject variability renders global thresholds suboptimal, the Physiological Noise Quantifier (PhyNQ) exploits a spectral slope} to produce a subject-specific noise score, providing a neurophysiologically interpretable quality assessment {that naturally adapts to each individual. The Data-Adaptive Label Refiner (DALR) directly adopts this noise score as the contamination ratio to drive a label refinement pipeline that requires no additional neural network training, thereby directly mitigating the impact of inter-subject label noise. Extensive experiments on three public datasets (DEAP, SEED, SEED-IV) across seven backbone architectures under strict leave-one-subject-out cross-validation demonstrate that PhyDA consistently and significantly outperforms both general and EEG-tailored label-denoising baselines, achieving average accuracy gains of 2.76%, 2.66%, and 3.32%, respectively. Visualization further confirms its neurophysiological interpretability and practical robustness. The source code is available at: https://github.com/HongyuZhu-s/PhyDA.
