The device can read human emotions

EQ-Radio can be based on heart rate and breathing to predict human emotions, opening up possibilities in many areas.

The research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) Laboratory makes devices that can read human emotions without relying on words or actions. they, IFL Science reported on 21/9.

The device, called EQ-Radio , emits a radio signal to the subject's body, which then receives the reflected signal to record information about their breathing and heart rate.

By using this algorithm to analyze data, EQ-Radio can identify small changes in heart rate ranges. Thereby, it can predict the object is happy, sad, angry or excited with 87% accuracy.

This device is applicable in many areas. Studios and advertising companies can use it to gather information about the viewer's reaction. In addition, smart homes can use data from the device to adjust light and temperature in the human senses.

Dina Katabi, co-developer, also pointed out the possibility of using EQ-Radio in health care. "Our results may pave the way for future technologies that will help monitor and diagnose diseases such as depression or anxiety disorders," Dina said.
