A multisensory non-invasive system for laughter analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laughter is an important non-verbal human social signal. Clarifying the mechanism of laughing would be useful in a variety of studies on health or sociology. In this paper we introduce a non-invasive multisensory system for real-time laughter detection and analysis. We focus only on the audio laughter recognition, present the preliminary results we obtained, and discuss the possible application of this system in the medical field.

Spontaneous human speech contains a lot of sounds that are not proper speech, yet carry meaning, laughter being a good example.

متن کاملUncovering Multisensory Processing through Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation
Most of current knowledge about the mechanisms of multisensory integration of environmental stimuli by the human brain derives from neuroimaging experiments. However, neuroimaging studies do not always provide conclusive evidence about the causal role of a given area for multisensory interactions, since these techniques can mainly derive correlations between brain activations and behavior. Conv...
