Emotion Estimation Using Noncontact Environmental Sensing with Machine and Deep Learning Models by Tsumugi Isogami, Nobuyoshi Komuro

“…This paper presents a method for estimating arousal and emotional valence levels using non-contact environmental sensing, addressing challenges such as discomfort from long-term device wear and privacy concerns associated with facial image analysis. We employed environmental data to develop machine learning models, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Decision Trees, and the deep learning model CNN-LSTM, and evaluated their accuracy in estimating emotional states. …”

The effect of interspike interval statistics on the information gainunder the rate coding hypothesis by Shinsuke Koyama, Lubomir Kostal

“…The question, how much information can be theoreticallygained from variable neuronal firing rate with respect to constantaverage firing rate is investigated.We employ the statistical concept of information based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence,and assume rate-modulated renewal processes as a model of spike trains.We show thatif the firing rate variation is sufficiently small and slow(with respect to the mean interspike interval), the information gaincan be expressed by the Fisher information.Furthermore, under certain assumptions, the smallestpossible information gain is provided by gamma-distributed interspikeintervals.The methodology is illustrated and discussed on severaldifferent statistical models of neuronal activity.…”
