Human Factors and Ergonomics (SIT22008)

4-1. Emotional Ergonomics I: Emotional Engineering, Measurement of Human Emotion

Human emotion is also a response of our brain activities, but it’s quite different from the cognitive works.

People have wanted to measure emotions and feelings of people for a long time. And recently, computer technologies help to understand human emotional status.

Here, from this lecture, find what human bio-data are used for estimation of emotions.

Keywords: #emotional engineering, #emotional ergonomics, #affective computing, #emotional technology, #measurement of human emotion, #EEG, #face recognition, #eye tracking
