SUMMARY
Computers are improving their ability to express and recognize affect. This might be the first step for the development of emotional computers. This course intends to provide participants with an overview of how emotions are represented in the brain and how they can be perceived on data resulting from human behaviour and physiology. Emotional metrics can be extracted from text (sentiment analysis), voice, facial images and biometric data such as electroencephalogram, electrodermal activity and heart rate.
