In this work, we explore emotion recognition (ER) by analyzing multimodal data from the 2nd Study in Bio-Reactions and Faces for Emotion-based Personalization for AI Systems (BIRAFFE-2) dataset, including data from 76 participants engaged in dynamic gameplay and pre-post audiovisual stimulations. Utilizing features derived from electrocardiogram (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), accelerometer, gyroscope, game logs (GL), affect dynamics and personality traits (PT) fed in different machine learning models, our study focuses on ER, achieving state-of-the-art performance across different experimental scenarios (accuracy: 0.967 for Negative Affect in Optimal Game using Support Vector Machines). This highlights the importance of emotional states as indicators for personalized HCI. Our approach offers valuable insights to understanding the interplay between multimodal physiological signals, GL, user's emotional states and PT, which could add to the design of adaptive, affect-sensitive SG. Distinct patterns in the data are revealed, particularly emphasizing the role of ECG-Derived Respiration features and the impact of past affectivity to current emotional state.Clinical relevance-By introducing innovative perspectives in affect-sensitive SG design, leveraging the analysis of multimodal signals, we foresee objective digital biomarkers that hold promise to broaden the clinical understanding of patients' emotional behavior during SG-based interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

It not only leads to impaired motor control and pain but also lowers the quality of life for stroke patients. Botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection has been used as a first-line treatment for spasticity, which helps to reduce muscle tone. While the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is the current clinical gold standard in evaluating spasticity, it can be affected by low inter-rater reliability. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) in the passive stretch reflex pre- and post-BoNT injection as a biomarker for spasticity detection and monitoring. Ten stroke participants were recruited in this study, and the root mean squared (RMS) envelope signal and the slope between fast passive extension (FPE) and slow passive extension (SPE) were calculated. The results show that all participants have Peak RMS Envelope and Slope features lower Post-BoNT injection compared to Pre-BoNT injection (SPE: p=0.03938; FPE: p=0.00119; Slope: p=0.00143 while only five out of ten participants have their MAS Score reduce after BoNT injection (p=0.02386).

Our approach focuses on updating the dynamic model of the artificial muscles in two ways: by refining the input-output relation and by addressing prediction and control errors. To achieve this, we utilize tracking performance as a posterior evaluation metric for model parameter adjustment. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate that our controller is capable of achieving reference tracking with a root mean square error (RMSE) of less than 5% across different stiffness levels.
