Emotion recognition could be done from the text, speech, facial expression or gesture. In this project, we concentrate on recognition of “inner” emotions from EEG signals. We propose real time fractal dimension based algorithm of quantification of basic emotion using valence emotion model. The subject emotions are recognized and visualized in real time on avatar’s head through LED diodes which simulate every single electrode.

## Who are we?
+We are three enthusiasts people.
+Eva Matuchová is psychology student, she cared about "paperwork", food, drinks and everything what wasn’t connected with programming.
+Michael Tesař is also psychology student, developer for EEG and fMRI and OpenSesame enthusiast. He created desing and brought it to live.
+Michal Lenc is creative and artistic part of our team. He created LED diode belt and he brought it to live.

## Why we choose this project...
Our project could by used at many cases of medical field, professional or every day life. Generally BCI could be used for pilots or drivers and it could improve their professional skills. Avoid and prevent losing focus by visualizing valence and arousal during their work performance. It could be also useful as some kind of feedback for gaming, music, interactive arts, relaxation or books to show valence reactions to those stimuli in real time. In the medical field it could be used in psychotherapy or shows pathology at perception, processing information, recognition and reaction to positive or negative (pleasant, unpleasant) visual stimuli.

###Beneficience
Potential harm could be caused by not following ethic standards, guidelines for using EEG, or misuse our idea. The steps we did to maximize benefits of our projects are described below. Our project could by used at many cases of medical field, professional or every day life. Generally BCI could be used for pilots or professional drivers and it could improve their skills.

Coercion
###Coercion
We could choose specific stimuli for every individual according to light visualization of their specific valence values and preferences obvious from frontal alpha asymmetry. We don’t use any kind of coercion in our experiment.

Protection

###Protection
Protection depends on specific situation of using this project. EEG measuring isn’t recommended for pregnant women and people with any open head injury of wounds.
Accountability
All presented pictures come from IAPS (international affective picture system). All codes were made in Python and Open Vibe by Michael Tesař and idea of light visualization was realized by Michal Lenc.

###Responsibility
All responsibily belongs to Eva Matuchová, Michael Tesař and Michal Lenc.
Vulnerability

###Vulnerability
All participants have to be completely healthy, physically and psychically and give us informed consent. Also we follow ethic code. EEG measuring isn’t recommended for pregnant women and people with any open head injury of wounds.
Autonomy – self government
Emotions are very specific and individual. There aren’t two people who would feel exactly same emotions during two identical stimulation. Emotional experience depends on many factors, like participants experience, biological specific any many others. It means that’s complicated to work and analyze individuals emotion, but nor impossible.

Informed consent is required.
Privacy
Privacy of users depends on type of use. EEG measuring could be anonymous so noone has to be afraid of their privacy.
