Emotion Recognition in an Actor:
This project on emotion recognition is studying the physiological changes that occurred in an actor as she intentionally induced eight different emotional states over a period of several days.

His research interests span the areas of digital speech processing, analysis and modeling of speech and speaker traits, speech pathology and voice assessment, speech enhancement and feature estimation in noise, robust speech recognition with current emphasis on robust recognition and training methods for topic spotting in accent, noise, stress, and Lombard effect, and speech feature enhancement in hands-free environments for human-computer interaction.

I am conducting research on nonverbal speech machine perception with a focus on efficient data representation to facilitate pattern recognition on the para- and extralinguistic content of speech.

The goal is to model the impressions of listeners according to a semantic differential including emotions, confidence, perceived leadership ability, pleasance etc. An application currently under development is a speech interface for Sony's pet robot dog Aibo.

http://mplab.ucsd.edu/~holcus/Speech.html

Other work at the Machine Perception Lab is geared towards motion and emotion detection in facial images, face tracking, audiovisual speech recognition, and the development of new pattern recognition schemes for machine perception tasks.

http://mplab.ucsd.edu/

We conduct research into many aspects of emotions, including experimental studies on emotion-antecedent appraisal, emotion induction, physiological reactions and expression of emotion (facial and vocal) and emotional behaviour in autonomous agents.

A number of applied projects involve the role of emotionality in business and public organisations (e.g. research on emotional climate, human resources, marketing) and in clinical settings (e.g. research on depression, neurological disorders).

Expression of Emotion

Human-computer interaction and its applications in Affective Computing, human emotions, user-centered design, building interactive characters, visual and audio interaction design, educational technology, collaborative learning, social issues in technology research, machine learning, usability engineering, digital music creation, computer game design and graphic design.

What is it like to work with a computer that is aware of its user's emotional state? Or rather, how can we design computers so that they are sensitive to the broad range of our humanity, instead of simply relating to us as if we, too, were computer-like? My research focuses on interaction design issues at the applications side of Affective Computing, a project that aims to bring human emotional awareness and abilities to machines.

Experiments and pictures, Try it.

Multimodal speech transmission and perception http://www.uniba.it/

Teacher/Linguist, founder of Quantum Linguistics, interested in issues of language & cognition, culture, consciousness, quantum physics and the still little understood insights Native America is willing to share. Of particular relevance to this list is my radical inside-out evolutionary model of language, inspired by Native America and congenial to both Piaget and modern physics, in which emotions play a crucial role: they are seen as a discrete language with its own grammar, thinking, and consciousness, which we share with other life forms.

http://sunflower.com/~dewatson/alford.htm

I warmly invite to my webpage everyone with an interest in language origins, the writings of Benjamin Whorf, consciousness issues, relativity, etc., and those with a curiosity about Quantum Linguistics, launched this summer at a quantum physics conference with comments from physics Nobel Laureate Brian Josephson and others.
