Introduction to EEG- and Speech-Based Emotion Recognition Methods examines the background, methods, and utility of using electroencephalograms (EEGs) to detect and recognize different emotions. By incorporating these methods in brain-computer interface (BCI), we can achieve more natural, efficient communication between humans and computers. This book discusses how emotional states can be recognized in EEG images, and how this is useful for BCI applications. EEG and speech processing methods are explored, as are the technological basics of how to operate and record EEGs. Finally, the authors include information on EEG-based emotion recognition, classification, and a proposed EEG/speech fusion method for how to most accurately detect emotional states in EEG recordings. Provides detailed insight on the science of emotion and the brain signals underlying this phenomenon Examines emotions as a multimodal entity, utilizing a bimodal emotion recognition system of EEG and speech data Details the implementation of techniques used for acquiring as well as analyzing EEG and speech signals for emotion recognition

A timely book containing foundations and current research directions on emotion recognition by facial expression, voice, gesture and biopotential signals This book provides a comprehensive examination of the research methodology of different modalities of emotion recognition. Key topics of discussion include facial expression, voice and biopotential signal-based emotion recognition. Special emphasis is given to feature selection, feature reduction, classifier design and multi-modal fusion to improve performance of emotion-classifiers. Written by several experts, the book includes several tools and techniques, including dynamic Bayesian networks, neural nets, hidden Markov model, rough sets, type-2 fuzzy sets, support vector machines and their applications in emotion recognition by different modalities. The book ends with a discussion on emotion recognition in automotive fields to determine stress and anger of the drivers, responsible for degradation of their performance and driving-ability. There is an increasing demand of emotion recognition in diverse fields, including psycho-therapy, bio-medicine and security in government, public and private agencies. The importance of emotion recognition has been given priority by industries including Hewlett Packard in the design and development of the next generation human-computer interface (HCI) systems. Emotion Recognition: A Pattern Analysis Approach would be of great interest to researchers, graduate students and practitioners, as the book Offers both foundations and advances on emotion recognition in a single volume Provides a thorough and insightful introduction to the subject by utilizing computational tools of diverse domains Inspires young researchers to prepare themselves for their own research Demonstrates direction of future research through new technologies, such as Microsoft Kinect, EEG systems etc.

Emotion, stress, and attention recognition are the most important aspects in neuropsychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and engineering. Biological signals and images processing such as galvanic skin response (GSR), electrocardiography (ECG), heart rate variability (HRV), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), event-related potentials (ERP), eye tracking, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have a great help in understanding the mentioned cognitive processes. Emotion, stress, and attention recognition systems based on different soft computing approaches have many engineering and medical applications. The book Emotion and Attention Recognition Based on Biological Signals and Images attempts to introduce the different soft computing approaches and technologies for recognition of emotion, stress, and attention, from a historical development, focusing particularly on the recent development of the field and its specialization within neuropsychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and engineering. The basic idea is to present a common framework for the neuroscientists from diverse backgrounds in the cognitive neuroscience to illustrate their theoretical and applied research findings in emotion, stress, and attention.

The book is a collection of best selected research papers presented at 6th International Conference on Innovations in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Guru Nanak Institutions Hyderabad, India. The book presents works from researchers, technocrats and experts about latest technologies in electronic and communication engineering. The book covers various streams of communication engineering like signal processing, VLSI design, embedded systems, wireless communications, and electronics and communications in general. The authors have discussed the latest cutting edge technology and the volume will serve as a reference for young researchers.

Emotions are complex phenomena that play significant roles in the quality of human life. Emotion plays a major role in motivation, perception, cognition, creativity, attention, learning and decision-making. A major problem in understanding emotion is the assessment of the definition of emotions. According to the WHO, every year, almost one million people die from suicide. Suicide is a leading cause of death among teenagers and adults. Existing techniques uses simple keyword search method to find emotional content in blog data and identify bloggers at risk of suicide. However, Deep sentiment analysis in suicide notes has not yet been explored much with computational approaches using advanced Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques. The main contribution of the proposed work employs Electroencephalography (EEG) based psychological states for initializing the parameter weights of the neural network, which is crucial to train an accurate model while avoiding the need to inject any additional features. The Synchronized brainwave dataset contains electroencephalogram (EEG) signal values and details of the patient. The proposed methodology using Machine learning techniques to detect emotion will help individuals, industry, educational institution and Government organization to take decisions and helps people to be more comfortable in expressing their problems.

How will artificial intelligence (AI), reshape work, commerce, relationships, and reality? As AI shatters barriers and ascends to CEO positions, rewriting the rules of our world, it renders millions who were previously considered impervious, vulnerable to its effects. When a tranquil Canadian evening takes a sinister turn, an elderly couple becomes ensnared in a cruel deception that exposes the unsettling complexities of AI. Surpassing the scope of science fiction and our brain’s ability to comprehend it, AI is on a path to alter society's foundation, adeptly replacing jobs and instigating a major shift in social roles—ushering a new economic era. Yet, few are prepared to adapt. "The Wolf Is at the Door" invites you on a compelling journey, unveiling this dramatic transformation and providing crucial insights for entrepreneurs and workers alike. Unraveling the boundless possibilities and problems borne by the digital frontier, this book breaks down the 10 most pressing threats we face and 10 vital rules to thrive in an AI-driven world.
