This chapter presents issues in the field of affective computing. Basic preliminary information for the recognition of emotions is given and models of emotions, various ways of evoking emotions, as well as their theoretical foundations are discussed. The particular attention is given to the use of physiological signals in recognizing emotions. This subject is outlined further below by presenting selected biosignals, their relationship...

Medical data analysis and processing strongly relies on the data quality itself. The correct data registration allows many unnecessary steps in data processing to be avoided. Moreover, it takes a certain amount of experience to acquire data that can produce replicable results. Because consistency is crucial in the teaching process, students have access to pre-recorded real data without the necessity of using additional equipment...

Impedance properties of bath solution are compared. Any ingredient such as soap, shampoo or bathing salt changes bath-solution’s electrical properties eg. impedance. We have measured and analysed influence of typical bathing ingredients on electrical properties of the solution. We investigate impedance changes over frequency range from 100Hz tu 100kHz as it is most applicable for person detection. Electrical properties of bath...

In this paper the possibility of person identification based on biosignal is investigated. The work focus on the analysis of the changes in intervals between successive R-waves of electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded by wearable electronics in form of a necklaces. The main idea behind this project is to find efficient tool which may prevent sudden consciousness loss episodes or even sudden death episodes related to rapid temperature...
