Formal protocol for the creation of a database of physiological and behavioral signals for the automatic recognition of emotions

Abstract

In this article the design of the experiment’s protocol (elements, considerations and formalization) for to create databases of physiological and behavioral signals from college students are doing a learning activity is described. The main thing is to define a formal protocol for data capture to provide an adequate database for the study of learning-centered emotions. For the recognition of emotions in specific contexts is a fundamental task and generally is part of the data treatment stage in research that is intended to automatically identify emotions in educational environments (as interest, boredom, confusion and frustration, according to [1]). For the execution the capture it is proposed to merge data from technologies for the acquisition of physiological and behavioral signals with the idea of integrating a vast and diverse set of data.
