Hegazy, S., & Revett, K. (2011, July). Developing an affective working companion utilising GSR data. In Proceedings of the 15th WSEAS international conference on Computers (pp. 256-261). World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS). Abstract:

Affective Computing field is in its second decade and is showing great achievements and promising results. Affective computing is mainly related to detecting and modifying a person’s affective state. This paper presents a review on the fields of emotion and affective computing. It reviews some of the work done in the field and proposes a new smart computer system. The proposed system shall use galvanic skin response (GSR) in order to build a model that relates the GSR signals to different emotions. An application shall then be built on top of this model, in order to improve and enhance a person’s mood by suggesting activities that best suits their current mood.
