Thermal Infrared Imaging-Based Computational Psychophysiology for Psychometrics

Thermal infrared imaging has been proposed as a potential system for the computational assessment of human autonomic nervous activity and psychophysiological states in a contactless and noninvasive way. Through bioheat modeling of facial thermal imagery, several vital signs can be extracted, including localized blood perfusion, cardiac pulse, breath rate, and sudomotor response, since all these...

Thermal infrared imaging in psychophysiology: Potentialities and limits

Functional infrared thermal imaging (fITI) is considered an upcoming, promising methodology in the emotional arena. Driven by sympathetic nerves, observations of affective nature derive from muscular activity subcutaneous blood flow as well as perspiration patterns in specific body parts. A review of 23 experimental procedures that employed fITI for investigations of affective nature is provide...

Advances in Computational Psychometrics

Advances in computational psychometrics and mathematical methods have been gaining a significant role in both medicine and psychology over these past years. The mainstream in psychometrics is moving towards ever greater use of computational and mathematical modeling techniques. Such techniques are critical in the emerging fields of affective and wearable computing, where new biomedical instrume...

Computational psychophysiology based research methodology for mental health

Computational psychophysiology is a new direction that broadens the field of psychophysiology by allowing for the identification and integration of multimodal signals to test specific models of mental states and psychological processes. Additionally, such approaches allows for the extraction of multiple signals from large-scale multidimensional data, with a greater ability to differentiate sign...
