Abstract: Examples described herein enable “in situ” sensing, which collects and analyzes physiological responses from a large group of viewers/audiences who watch a same media instance together at a single venue. Each of the group of viewers is fitted with physiological sensors with communication capabilities to communicate with a signal collection device at or near the venue. The signal collection device collects the physiological data of the viewers from the sensors, and transmits the physiological data to a processing module at another location via a network for storage and further analysis.

Abstract: Example systems and methods to determine media effectiveness are disclosed. An example system includes a synchronizer to time shift first neuro-response data gathered from an audience member exposed to media a first amount to align the first neuro-response data with second neuro-response data simultaneously gathered from the audience member to form aligned data, the first neuro-response data representing a first response to a first sensory component of the media and the second neuro-response data representing a second response to a second sensory component of media. The synchronizer is to time shift the second neuro-response data a second amount. The first amount is based on a first cognitive delay of a brain of the audience member and the second amount is based on a second cognitive delay of the brain. The example system includes an analyzer to determine an effectiveness of the media based on the aligned data.

Abstract: Example systems, methods and machine readable media are disclosed. An example system includes a synchronizer to determine a total amount to offset first-neuro-response data gathered from a subject exposed to media to align the first neuro-response data with second neuro-response data simultaneously gathered from the subject. The first neuro-response data is associated with a first sensory component of the media and the second neuro-response data is associated with a second sensory component of the media. The total amount to offset is based on a first cognitive delay associated with the first neuro-response data and a second cognitive delay associated with the second neuro-response data. The synchronizer is to time shift at least one of the first neuro-response data or the second neuro-response based on the total amount to form aligned data. The example system includes an analyzer to determine an effectiveness of the media based on the aligned data.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure create a novel system for rating an event in a media based on the strength of the emotions viewers feel towards the event. The viewer's responses to the media can be measured and calculated via physiological sensors. The metric for rating the strength of the media is created based on the mathematical coherence of change (up or down) of all pertinent physiological responses across multiple viewers. Such rating offers an objective ability to compare the strengths of events of the media, as there is a strong correlation between high coherence of physiological responses (all viewers feel the same thing at the same time) and strong ratings of emotionality, engagement, likeability, success in the marketplace/on screen.

Abstract: Example methods, systems, apparatus and machine readable media are disclosed to identify candidate media events for modification. An example method includes dividing a media instance into components and correlating physiological response data from a subject exposed to the media with the components to form correlated data. The example method also includes processing the correlated data to identify transitions representative of changes in a subject response. The example method also includes parsing the components a plurality of events based on the transitions. In addition, the example method includes identifying events of the plurality of events as candidates for modification based on the changes in the subject response.
