New research from Queen Mary University of London explores how an AI approach based on wireless signals could lead to new methods of emotion detection.
PLOS ONE, the study demonstrates the use of radio waves to measure heart rate and breathing signals to predict how someone is feeling in the absence of other visual cues such as facial expressions.
PhD student at QMUL, Achintha Avin Ihalage, said their proposed deep learning approach is a novel neural architecture that can process time-dependent wireless signal and frequency-domain wavelet transformation images simultaneously while preserving temporal and spatial relationships.
While the ‘basic building blocks’ used to implement the neural network are well known and widely adopted, added first author and PhD student Ahsan Noor Khan, the method of evoking emotions and its combination with wireless signals for unobtrusive sensing of breathing and heart rate is potentially new and could open d

Chills, loss of appetite, headache and muscle aches were together most strongly linked with being infected.
Having any of these other symptoms alone was associated with Covid, or in combination with the classic signs.
“Nostalgia sure ain’t what it used to be,” Prof Sean Turnell posted wryly on Twitter, the morning after a coup plunged Myanmar back into military dictatorship.
