Accounting for a patient’s emotional state is integral in medical care. Telehealth research attests to the challenge clinicians must overcome in assessing patient emotional state when modalities are limited (Pettinari and Jessopp, 2001).

Emotional content is a major component in music. It has long been a research topic of interest to discover the acoustic patterns in the music that carry that emotional information, and enable performers to communicate emotional messages to listeners. Previous works looked in the audio signal for local cues, most of which assume monophonic music, and their statistics over time. Here, we used gen...

Models of emotional prosody based on perception have typically required listeners to rate emotional expressions according to the psychological dimensions (arousal, valence, and power). We propose a perception-based model without assuming that the psychological dimensions are those used by listeners to differentiate emotional prosody. Instead, multidimensional scaling is used to identify three p...

Multi-dimensional annotation is usually applied for labeling spontaneous emotional events, and categorial-based annota...

Previous research has attributed to the right hemisphere (RH) a key role in eliciting false memories to visual emotional stimuli. These results have been explained in terms of two right-hemisphere properties: (i) that emotional stimuli are preferentially processed in the RH and (ii) that visual stimuli are represented more coarsely in the RH. According to this account, false emotional memories ...
