Abstract: A method of interacting with an application includes receiving, in a processor, data generated based on signals from one or more bio-signal detectors on a user, the data representing a mental state or facial expression of the user, generating an input event based on the data representing the mental state or facial expression of the user of the user, and passing the input event to an application.
Abstract: A method of detecting and classifying facial muscle movements, comprising the steps of: receiving bio-signals from at least one bio-signal detector; and applying at least one facial muscle movement-detection algorithm to a portion of the bio-signals affected by a predefined type of facial muscle movement in order to detect facial muscle movements of that predefined type.

Abstract: A method of detecting a mental state includes receiving, in a processor, bio-signals of a subject from one or more bio-signal detectors, and determining in the processor whether the bio-signals represent the presence of a particular mental state in the subject. A method of using the detected mental state includes receiving, in a processor, a signal representing whether a mental state is present in the subject. The mental state can be a non-deliberative mental state, such as an emotion, preference or sensation. A processor can configured perform the methods, and a computer program product, tangibly stored on machine readable medium can have instructions operable to cause a processor to perform the methods.

Abstract: A method of detecting and classifying mental states, comprising the steps of receiving bio-signals from one or more bio-signal detectors; generating multiple different representations of each bio-signal; determining the value of one or more features of the each bio-signal representation; and comparing the feature values to one or more than one mental state signature, each mental state signature defining reference feature values indicative of a predetermined mental state.
