Emotions play a critical role in human cognition, perception, decision making, and interaction [1]. We present a novel non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system to monitor human emotion in the loop. In particular, we developed a continuous music-based emotion display embedded in an online BCI architecture. Our system measures emotional states from electroencephalography (EEG) signals and feeds back the affective state in real-time via the emotion display, establishing affective closed-loop brain interaction. We provide a thorough discussion on potential applications emerging from our concept, in particular its implications on affective human-machine interaction (HMI) and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) [7] environments. Furthermore, we discuss the potential use of our system in diagnosis and treatment of affective dysfunctions, such as in depression or anxiety disorder.
