A Study of the Dynamic Relation between Physiological Changes and Spontaneous Expressions

Abstract Recent progress in Affective Computing (AC) has enabled integration of physiological cues and spontaneous expressions to reveal a subject’s emotional state. Due to the lack of an effective technique for evaluating multimodal correlations, experience and intuition play a main role in present...
