Abstract

Memory and emotion are an ever-important aspect of Human Computer Interaction. While we are researching new interfaces for emotional and experience communication through multisensory communication, there is one aspect of our emotional perception that has been largely ignored in the process: dreaming. We propose to take a new direction by studying the perception of emotions during sleep and how they can be affected through external stimuli via novel user interfaces. In this position poster we take results from studies that have shown that smell and emotions are closely interlinked as a basis for an olfactory computer-dream interface.

Do all facial emojis communicate emotion? The impact of facial emojis on perceived sender emotion and text processing
Abstract
Facial emojis can express a variety of positive and negative emotions, and are commonly used in digital, written communication. However, little is known about how emojis impact text processing and how different emoji-text combinations give rise ...
Highlights
- We investigated how facial emojis impact text comprehension using behavioral ratings and EEG.
- In ratings, negative emojis communicate specific mental states, while positive emojis communicate general positive emotion.
- In ERPs, the ...
