The example system includes a second headset including a second sensor to gather second user data from the second subject during exposure to the media, the second user data including at least one of psychophysiological data or physiological data; a second processor to generate second data indicative of an emotional response of the second subject based on the second user data and synchronize the second data with the first data to generate synchronized response data; and a second transmitter to transmit the synchronized response data to a central processor.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures, a first antenna, and a second antenna. A gap may divide the housing structures into a first segment forming an arm of the first antenna and a second segment forming an arm of the second antenna. A first feed terminal may be coupled to the first segment and a second feed terminal may be coupled to the second segment. Switchable components may be coupled in parallel between the first and second feed terminals across the gap. The switchable components may be adjusted to tune the frequency response of the first and/or second antenna. The switchable components may have a first state in which only the first feed terminal feeds the first antenna and may have a second state in which both the first and second feed terminals feed the first antenna.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element formed from a segment of peripheral conductive housing structures. A speaker may be aligned with first openings in the segment. A vent may be aligned with second openings in the segment. A connector may protrude through the segment. A trace combiner for the antenna may be patterned onto the speaker and may be coupled to the segment. Tuners for the antenna may be disposed on first and second flexible printed circuits that extend along opposing sides of the connector. The tuners may be controlled through the speaker. The second flexible printed circuit may extend along the vent. The vent may have a vent cowling with a cut-out region next to the tuner on the second flexible printed circuit.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element and a light source module mounted to a flexible printed circuit and a metal cowling. The module may emit light through a rear housing wall. The printed circuit may be interposed between the metal cowling and a conductive support plate in the rear housing wall. The printed circuit may include a ground trace coupled to the resonating element. A dimpled pad may couple the ground trace to the support plate. Compressive foam may be used to exert a force against the flexible printed circuit that presses the dimpled pad against the conductive support plate. The ground trace and the dimpled pad may form a return path to ground for the resonating element. The dimpled pad may occupy less height within the device than other structures such as metal springs.

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.
