  • Patent number: 11357431
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify an emotion evoked by media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a synthesizer to generate a first synthesized sample based on a pre-verbal utterance associated with a first emotion. A feature extractor is to identify a first value of a first feature of the first synthesized sample. The feature extractor to identify a second value of the first feature of first media evoking an unknown emotion. A classification engine is to create a model based on the first feature. The model is to establish a relationship between the first value of the first feature and the first emotion. The classification engine is to identify the first media as evoking the first emotion when the model indicates that the second value corresponds to the first value.

  • Patent number: 10987015
    Abstract: An electroencephalography (EEG) system includes a dry electrode design having a jagged, angular, comb, etc. shaped support housing. Each dry electrode housing includes multiple electrodes where each electrode has multiple contacts for scalp placement with minimal interference from hair. Signals from individual contacts may be disregarded and each housing may provide one or more aggregated signals for data analysis. Each electrode may be placed in close proximity with neighboring electrodes as no conductive gel is required and may be attached to the scalp using straps, elastic cap, spring-type materials, tape, etc. The dry electrode design effectively measures bio-signals including neurological activity.

  • Patent number: 10963895
    Abstract: A system evaluates source materials such as videos, imagery, web pages, text, etc., in order to determine priming characteristics associated with the source materials. The system also obtains user preferences such as user interests, purchase history, location information, etc. The priming characteristics and user characteristics are blended to obtain blended attributes. The blended attributes are correlated with stimulus material attributes to intelligently and dynamically select stimulus material such as marketing, entertainment, informational materials, etc., for introduction into the source material. The stimulus material may be inserted in real-time or near real-time into the source material for delivery to a user.

  • Patent number: 10846895
    Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for automatically removing an individual from an image or group of images. One example method includes receiving a request to remove an individual from an image. Specifically, this request includes a selection of the individual's face in the image. Next, preferences relating to removal of the individual are received, such as preferred selections about whether to remove the individual completely from the image, whether to replace the individual with a substitute, and whether to retain selected individuals in the image. Facial features associated with the individual and body features associated with the individual are then identified and the individual is removed from the image based on the preferences provided relating to removal of the individual and surrounding elements.
