Automated posture analysis for detecting learner's affective state
… that three teachers could reliably recognize 5 affective states (high interest, interest, low interest, taking a break and boredom). Hence, a static posture recognition system that distinguishes the set of 9 postures was built. This system senses the postures using two matrices of pressure …

Give Hate a Chance: An Exploration of the Affective State of Interpersonal Hate
<p>Interpersonal hate, the affective state of one individual experiencing hate toward another, is widely experienced. However, to date there is no experimental evidence of interpersonal hate. This phenomenon was explored, as was its place in the triad of hostile emotions. It was theorized that …

Affective state recognition in Virtual Reality from electromyography and photoplethysmography using head-mounted wearable sensors.
The three core components of Affective Computing (AC) are emotion expression recognition, emotion processing, and emotional feedback. Affective states are typically characterized in a two-dimensional space consisting of arousal, i.e., the intensity of the emotion felt; and valence, i.e., the degree …

The use of heart rate variability measurements as a non-invasive method of assessing affective state in horses
… abnormalities indicative of a negative affective state and poor welfare. The concept of animal welfare should include the animals’ physical and psychological health and harmony with their environment. There is an increasing call for subjective feelings and the assessment of emotion to be …

Chicken or fish? Do environmental complexity and stocking density impact affective states of broiler chickens and rainbow trout?
… anxiety and fear, resulting in negative affective states and poor animal welfare. Affective state (or emotional state) is a cumulative product of short-term life experiences, ranging from positive to negative. Because affective states are largely influenced by environmental condition, …

Human emotion simulation in a dynamic environment
… to generate a series of modifications in the affective state from one event by contrast to the existing solutions where one emotion is mapped to one single event. Several theories are used to make the model concrete. The second contribution make use of attention theories to build a paradigm in …

Affective Visualization in Virtual Reality Systems
… to infer some characteristics of users’ mental states by analyzing their electrophysiological responses in real-time. However, it is unclear how to use the information extracted from electrophysiological signals to adjust the stimuli inside a virtual environment according to the user’s affective …

Nature and nurture: genetic strains of broiler chickens housed in varying levels of environmental complexity
… less is known about slow-growing broiler affective state, and the impact environmental enrichment will have on affective state in different strains. Poor health can cause pain, and barren environments can limit broilers in expressing natural behavior, resulting in negative affect. Through …

Eliciting and detecting affect in covert and ethically sensitive situations
… interest in creating systems that can sense the affective state of a user for a variety of applications. As a result, a large number of studies have been conducted with the goals of eliciting specific affective states, measuring sensor data associated with those states, and building algorithms to …

The Effect of Transient Mood on Performance Outcomes and Levels of Motivation Variables
… subjects experiencing negative transient mood states would be associated with lower n Ach, lower n Pow, and higher n App than in a neutral mood state. It was further hypothesized that subjects experiencing a negative mood state would have lower performance levels than subjects in a neutral …

Application of Intermediate Multi-Agent Systems to Integrated Algorithmic Composition and Expressive Performance of Music
… tunes from other agents. Each agent has an affective state (an “artificial emotional state”) which affects how it performs the music to other agents; e.g. a “happy” agent will perform “happier” music. The agent performance not only involves compositional changes to the music, but also adds …

Emotions in language learning: applying affective research in English Language Teaching
Research on the influence of affective features in language learning shows that students’ attitudes and motivation appear to be the most critical factor for success in language learning (Day, Gardner & MacIntyre, 1992). This paper aims at providing language teachers with tools that allow them to …

Affective learning companions : strategies for empathetic agents with real-time multimodal affective sensing to foster meta-cognitive and meta-affective approaches to learning, motivation, and perseverance
This thesis has developed an affective agent research platform that advances the architecture of relational agents and intelligent tutoring systems. The system realizes non-invasive multimodal real-time sensing of elements of user's affective state and couples this ability with an agent capable of …

Reaching for Opacity: Contemporary Afrodiasporic Literature
… this dissertation, then, focuses on an aporetic affective state—such as quietude, exhaustion, forgetfulness, and uncertainty—which deactivates or stands in the way of the reader’s desire for immediacy, transparency, and recuperation. In so doing, we discover a diasporic tradition that clamors not …
