Detection and Utilization of Emotional State for Disabled Users

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8547))

Abstract

In this paper, we present an experimental approach to design systems sensitive to emotion. We describe a system for the detection of emotional states based on physiological signals and an application use case utilizing the detected emotional state. The application is an emotion management system to be used for the support in the improvement of life conditions of users suffering from cerebral palsy (CP). The system presented here combines effectively biofeedback sensors and a set of software algorithms to detect the current emotional state of the user and to react to them appropriately.
