  • Patent number: 8882669
    Abstract: Computer program product for processing GSR (galvanic skin response) signals, which when run on a computer controls the computer to estimate a level of arousal, or at least a change in the level of arousal, of a user, provided with an algorithm that is configured to control a computer to calculate a third or higher central moment of a recorded GSR signal and to derive an estimation of the level of arousal from said third or higher central moment.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120016208
    Abstract: A method for selecting items, the method comprising the steps of measuring (21) a pre-stimulus level of a physiological parameter of a user, selecting (22) an item based on a user profile and the pre-stimulus level of the physiological parameter, measuring (23) a post-stimulus level of the physiological parameter, determining (24) a stimulus effect by calculating a difference between the post-stimulus level and the pre-stimulus level, correcting (25) the stimulus effect using a model of an effect of the pre-stimulus level on the physiological parameter and updating (26) the user profile, using the corrected stimulus effect. The method may, e.g., be used for selecting media items in a music player or digital TV.
