For instance, patients in neurorehabilitation units could benefit from emotion-aware assistive technologies. Practitioners dealing with learning disorders could also make use of such an emotion-based training system to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. In addition, software evaluation, particularly computer games, usability assessment and marketing research have also increasing made use of such technologies. A new project in EDA , funded by an Ideas Factory Grant, aims to evaluate the capability of low cost consumer EEG devices in recognising emotions.<br \/>\nThe project attempts to establish the connection between human emotions and EEG using low cost consumer devices. Ultimately, it will provide a set of tools for objective measure of emotions, which will be an extremely useful tool for clinicians to carry out assessment on patients, as well as various application areas.<br \/>\nThe project will be led by Dr Jim Ang and Dr Farzin Deravi.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demonstrating that low cost EEG (Electroencephalography) devices can be used to detect emotions with a reasonable accuracy threshold will have an important impact in various &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/2011\/01\/05\/detection-and-monitoring-of-emotional-states-using-brain-computer-interfaces\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55249,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55249"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
