In the last decade, researchers have increasingly explored using biosensing technologies for music-based affective regulation and stress management interventions in laboratory and real-world settings. These systems -- including interactive…
Acute psychological stress occurs in a wide range of everyday contexts, including transportation, occupational settings, and physical activity, where its reliable detection could enable adaptive system responses and support human…
Music plays a critical role in emotional regulation and stress relief; however, individuals often need different types of music tailored to their unique stress levels or surrounding environment. Choosing the right music can be challenging…
Chills or goosebumps, also called frisson, is a phenomenon that is often associated with an aesthetic experience e.g., music or some other ecstatic experience. The temporal and spatial cause of frisson in the brain has been one of the…
In the recent past, psychological stress has been increasingly observed in humans, and early detection is crucial to prevent health risks. Stress detection using on-device deep learning algorithms has been on the rise owing to advancements…
Art Therapy (AT) is an established practice that facilitates emotional processing and recovery through creative expression. Recently, Visual Art Recommender Systems (VA RecSys) have emerged to support AT, demonstrating their potential by…
This paper presents a comprehensive review of methods covering significant subjective and objective human stress detection techniques available in the literature. The methods for measuring human stress responses could include subjective…
Acoustic sensing manifests great potential in various applications that encompass health monitoring, gesture interface and imaging by leveraging the speakers and microphones on smart devices. However, in ongoing research and development in…
There are numerous studies which suggest that perhaps music is truly the language of emotions. Music seems to have an almost willful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, and indeed requires deeper neurophysiological investigations…
Stress impacts our physical and mental health as well as our social life. A passive and contactless indoor stress monitoring system can unlock numerous important applications such as workplace productivity assessment, smart homes, and…
Functional music applications, from consumer focus and sleep aids to clinical interventions, share a distinctive recommendation problem: success is defined by the listener's affective state, but online experimentation on emotion is…
We engineered an interactive music system that influences a user's breathing rate to induce a relaxation response. This system generates ambient music containing periodic shifts in loudness that are determined by the user's own breathing…
We propose a system to adapt a user's music to their exercise by aligning high-energy music segments with intense intervals of the workout. Listening to music during exercise can boost motivation and performance. However, the structure of…
Attribute-based Credential Systems (ACS) have been long proposed as privacy-preserving means of attribute-based authentication, yet neither been considered particularly usable nor found wide-spread adoption, to date. To establish what…
The popularity of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) has skyrockted over the past decade, but scientific studies on what exactly triggered ASMR effect remain few and immature, one most commonly acknowledged trigger is that ASMR…
Neurodivergent people frequently experience decreased sound tolerance, with estimates suggesting it affects 50-70% of this population. This heightened sensitivity can provoke reactions ranging from mild discomfort to severe distress,…
Music as an emotional intervention medium has important applications in scenarios such as music therapy, games, and movies. However, music needs real-time arrangement according to changing emotions, bringing challenges to balance emotion…
Physiological measurements involves observing variables that attribute to the normative functioning of human systems and subsystems directly or indirectly. The measurements can be used to detect affective states of a person with aims such…
Neuronal activity arises from an interaction between ongoing firing generated spontaneously by neural circuits and responses driven by external stimuli. Using mean-field analysis, we ask how a neural network that intrinsically generates…
Background. The current cognitive state, such as cognitive effort and depletion, incidental affect or stress may impact the strength of a chosen password unconsciously. Aim. We investigate the effect of incidental fear and stress on the…
