Emotion Elicitation: A Comparison of Pictures and Films
2016
Abstract Pictures and film clips are widely used and accepted stimuli to elicit emotions. Based on theoretical arguments it is often assumed that the emotional effects of films exceed those of pictures, but to date this assumption has not been investigated directly. The aim of the present study was to compare pictures and films in terms of their capacity to induce emotions verified by means of explicit measures. Stimuli were (a) single pictures presented for 6 s, (b) a set of three consecutive pictures with emotionally congruent contents presented for 2 s each, (c) short film clips with a duration of 6 s. A total of 144 participants rated their emotion and arousal states following stimulus …
Quantifying multidimensional control mechanisms of cardiovascular dynamics during multiple concurrent stressors
2021
Heartbeat regulation is achieved through different routes originating from central autonomic network sources, as well as peripheral control mechanisms. While previous studies successfully characterized cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms during a single stressor, to the best of our knowledge, a combination of multiple concurrent elicitations leading to the activation of different autonomic regulatory routes has not been investigated yet. Therefore, in this study, we propose a novel modeling framework for the quantification of heartbeat regulatory mechanisms driven by different neural routes. The framework is evaluated using two heartbeat datasets gathered from healthy subjects undergoing p…
Emotion Elicitation Oriented to the Development of a Human Emotion Management System for People with Intellectual Disabilities
2010
The integration of people with intellectual disabilities into working and social environments is one of the main issues in applying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into Assistive Technology field. In order to solve this problem, the use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is a fact among the attendance community. Human Emotion Management System (HEMS) enhances the performance of ITSs. In this work a HEMS is included in a new ITS system (LAGUNTXO) which adds user affective information. People with intellectual disabilities and elderly need physical and intellectual support. This may be achieved by a HEMS which attempts to solve critical situations, like those presented in b…
