  • Publication number: 20230214018
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an Analytics Engine that receives one more signal files that include neural signal data of a user based on voltages detected by one or more electrodes on a set of headphones worn by a user. The Analytics Engine preprocesses the data, extracts features from the received data, and feeds the extracted features into one or more machine learning models to generate determined output that corresponds to at least one of a current mental state of the user and a type of facial gesture performed by the user. The Analytics Engine sends the determined output to a computing device to perform an action based on the determined output.

  • Publication number: 20220117510
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for determining intensity of a biological response to a presentation are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory and processor circuitry to execute instructions to identify trough-to-peak instances in first galvanic skin response (GSR) data for a first subject, the first GSR data collected from the first subject during exposure of the first subject to media content during a period of time; assign trough-to-peak scores to corresponding ones of the trough-to-peak instances; associate the respective ones of the trough-to-peak scores with a time corresponding to the trough of each trough-to-peak instances; assign window scores to corresponding ones of windows in the period of time based on the highest trough-to-peak score occurring within the corresponding windows to generate a first GSR intensity profile; and identify an element of the media content for modification based on the first GSR intensity profile.
