Using computer-vision and machine learning to automate facial coding of positive and negative affect intensity.

PloS one
Facial expressions are fundamental to interpersonal communication, including social interaction, and allow people of different ages, cultures, and languages to quickly and reliably convey emotional information. Historically, facial expression researc...

Rapid detection of internalizing diagnosis in young children enabled by wearable sensors and machine learning.

PloS one
There is a critical need for fast, inexpensive, objective, and accurate screening tools for childhood psychopathology. Perhaps most compelling is in the case of internalizing disorders, like anxiety and depression, where unobservable symptoms cause c...

A signature-based machine learning model for distinguishing bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.

Translational psychiatry
Mobile technologies offer new opportunities for prospective, high resolution monitoring of long-term health conditions. The opportunities seem of particular promise in psychiatry where diagnoses often rely on retrospective and subjective recall of mo...

People are averse to machines making moral decisions.

Cognition
Do people want autonomous machines making moral decisions? Nine studies suggest that that the answer is 'no'-in part because machines lack a complete mind. Studies 1-6 find that people are averse to machines making morally-relevant driving, legal, me...

Self-Efficacy, Poststroke Depression, and Rehabilitation Outcomes: Is There a Correlation?

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: The sudden live changes of stroke survivors may lead to negative psychological and behavioral outcomes, including anxiety and depressive mood, which may compromise the rehabilitation process. Some personality features, such as self-effica...

Using machine learning and surface reconstruction to accurately differentiate different trajectories of mood and energy dysregulation in youth.

PloS one
Difficulty regulating positive mood and energy is a feature that cuts across different pediatric psychiatric disorders. Yet, little is known regarding the neural mechanisms underlying different developmental trajectories of positive mood and energy r...

Effects of the Red Bull energy drink on cognitive function and mood in healthy young volunteers.

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England)
The present study compared the cognitive and mood effects of two commercially available products, Red Bull energy drink 250 mL and Red Bull Sugarfree energy drink 250 mL, together with a matching placebo 250 mL. Twenty-four healthy young volunteers t...

Externalising moods and psychological states in a cloud based system to enhance a pet-robot and child's interaction.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: This PATRICIA research project is about using pet robots to reduce pain and anxiety in hospitalized children. The study began 2 years ago and it is believed that the advances made in this project are significant. Patients, parents, nurses...

Effectiveness of a social robot, "Paro," in a VA long-term care setting.

Psychological services
Interest in animal assisted interventions (AAI) has grown over the years, but acceptance of AAI by the clinical and research community has been hampered by safety, hygiene, and logistical concerns. Advances in the field of social robotics have provid...

Effect of Subliminal Lexical Priming on the Subjective Perception of Images: A Machine Learning Approach.

PloS one
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of subliminal priming in terms of the perception of images influenced by words with positive, negative, and neutral emotional content, through electroencephalograms (EEGs). Participants were instructe...
