The emotional state through visual expression, auditory expression and physiological representation

Abstract

As emotional content reflects human behaviour, automatic emotion recognition is a topic of growing interest. During the communication of an emotional message, the use of physiological signals and facial expressions gives several advantages that can be expected to understand a person’s personality and psychopathology better and determine human communication and human-machine interaction. In this article, we will present some notions about identifying the emotional state through visual expression, auditory expression and physiological representation, and the techniques used to measure emotions.
