Daniel Goldman (1997 “Laugh and Your Computer Will Laugh With You, Someday” Jan 7, 1997 Issue, New York Times, Science TimesQuote from the article: “Emotions like fear, sadness and anger each announce themselves through a unique signature of changes in facial muscle, vocal inflection, physiological arousal, and other such cues. Building on techniques of pattern […]
