  • In-Lab and Remote webcam-based Respiration: A promising candidate for neuromarketing?

    Open Access30/05/2024iMotions

    Advancements in biosensor technologies are sought after to enable innovation in the field of neuropsychology and emotional research. Galvanic skin response, facial expressions analysis, as well as respiration have been used in the past to measure implicit emotional reactions. While some of these focus on either the valence or intensity of emotions, respiration shows promise […]

  • FUSE- FrUstration and Surprise Expressions: ASubtle Emotional Multimodal Language Corpus

The resource is unique both because these are understudied affect states for emotion modeling in language, and also because […]

  • From Eye Movements to Personality Traits: A Machine Learning Approach in Blood Donation Advertising

    Open AccessPeer-Reviewed10/05/2024University of Patras + 2

    Blood donation heavily depends on voluntary involvement, but the problem of motivating and retaining potential blood donors remains. Understanding the personality traits of donors can assist in this case, bridging communication gaps and increasing participation and retention. To this end, an eye-tracking experiment was designed to examine the viewing behavior of 75 participants as they […]

  • Measurement of Visitors’ Subjective and Objective Emotional Response to Congestion in Public Spaces

    Open AccessPeer-Reviewed10/05/2024The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

    Research on the ties between congestion and visitors’ experiences in a destination has primarily used subjective methods. The current study proposes that the emotional, subjective visitor response to congestion be measured alongside the objective experience, in real time and real-world conditions. To do so, advanced tracking methods in time and space (GPS) were combined with […]

  • POV Learning: Individual Alignment of Multimodal Models using Human Perception

    Open AccessPeer-Reviewed07/05/2024Trier University + 2

    Aligning machine learning systems with human expectations is mostly attempted by training with manually vetted human behavioral samples, typically explicit feedback. This is done on a population level since the context that is capturing the subjective Point-Of-View (POV) of a concrete person in a specific situational context is not retained in the data. However, we […]

  • The vampire effect of smartphone swiping: how atypical motor actions increase ad attention but impair brand recall

    Open AccessPeer-Reviewed27/04/2024Schumpeter School of Business and Economics, University of Wuppertal

    Consumers’ swiping behavior largely determines their exposure to social media advertisements. According to embodied cognition and enactment theory, advertisers might leverage atypical swiping to increase attention and thus brand recall. To identify typical smartphone swiping, the authors develop a taxonomy of the motor actions consumers exhibit when browsing social media in real life. A mobile […]
