Abstract
The automatic detection and study of human emotions has always been an area of interest within the scientific community. The AUBADE European Union funded project has addressed this problem by developing an innovative, intelligent, multi-sensor and wearable system for the assessment of the emotional state of humans under special conditions (i.e. neurological diseases, stress, etc.). The system recognizes the emotions after processing biomedical signals (electromyogram, electrocardiogram, respiration rate and galvanic skin response) and can be applied in diverse areas. Currently, a health care sector scenario has been considered and validated, primarily in the neurology and psychology areas, in order to contribute to get precise diagnosis and treatment procedures for patients.
