Abstract Examining peoples’ affect and emotions over time their effects on behavior are ongoing endeavors in human-computer-interaction (HCI) research. This paper reports an experiment which participants watched either positive or negative film clips a tablet PC to enter affective state. Successively, they accomplished four basic system interaction tasks like changing fonts of app the same devi...

This study aimed to classify different emotional states by means of EEG-based functional connectivity patterns. Forty young participants viewed film clips that evoked the following emotional states: neutral, positive, or negative. Three connectivity indices, including correlation, coherence, and phase synchronization, were used to estimate brain functional connectivity in EEG signals. Following...

The present study examined age differences in the timing and neural recruitment within lateral and medial PFC while younger and older adults hedonically regulated their responses to unpleasant film clips. When analyses focused on activity during the emotional peak of the film clip (the most emotionally salient portion of the film), several age differences emerged. When comparing regulation to p...

Recent research has found a discrepancy between schizophrenic patients' outward expression of emotion and their reported emotional experience. In this study, which attempts to replicate and extend the findings of previous studies, participants with and without schizophrenia viewed emotional film clips while their facial expressions were videotaped and skin conductance was recorded. Participants...

Abs t rac t In this article we present a computer program called “MAD”, Movie Authoring and Design. Whereas most computer software for filmmaking focuses on the editing and post-production stage, MAD is designed specifically to support the authoring stage, and may be used before any film footage is shot. It assists in the process of developing and refining the concept for a movie by supporting ...

Positive emotions are of great significance to people's daily life, such as human-computer/robot interaction. However, the structure extensive positive is not clear yet and effective standardized inducing materials containing many emotional categories possible lacking. Thus, this article aims establish a Chinese emotion database (CPED) (1) effectively elicit possible, (2) provide both subjectiv...
