Affect Recognition in Muscular Response Signals

Poor facial affect recognition among boys with duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Children with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (MD) have delayed language and poor social skills and some meet criteria for Pervasive Developmental Disorder, yet they are identified by molecular, rather than behavioral, characteristics. To determine whether comprehension of facial affect is compromised in boys with MD, children were given a matching-to-sample test with four types of visual...

Generalization in response to mate recognition signals.

Females usually exhibit strong and unequivocal recognition of conspecific mating signals and reject those of other sympatric heterospecifics. However, most species are allopatric with one another, and the degree to which females recognize mating signals of allopatric species is more varied. Such mating signals are often rejected but are sometimes falsely recognized as conspecific. We studied th...

Emotion Recognition from Physiological Signals for User Modeling of Affect

In this paper, we describe algorithms developed to analyze physiological signals associated with emotions, in order to recognize the affective states of users via noninvasive technologies. We propose a framework for modeling user's emotions from the sensory inputs and interpretations of our multi-modal system. We also describe examples of circumstances that these systems can

Machine learning based Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) Signals Recognition

Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...
