  • Patent number: 11690547
    Abstract: The computer implemented method makes it possible to discern, for a variety of sensations, whether a sensation is a pleasant (comfortable) sensation or a sensation of discomfort. A classifier is generated for discerning the stress or comfort/discomfort of a subject.
