The present disclosure relates to a method of assessing consumer reaction to a stimulus, comprising receiving a visual recording stored on a computer-readable medium of facial expressions of at least one human subject as the subject is exposed to a business stimulus so as to generate a chronological sequence of recorded facial images; accessing the computer-readable medium for automatically detecting and recording expressional repositioning of each of a plurality of selected facial features by conducting a computerized comparison of the facial position of each selected facial feature through sequential facial images; automatically coding contemporaneously detected and recorded expressional repositionings to at least a first action unit, wherein the action unit maps to a first set of one or more possible emotions expressed by the human subject; assigning a numerical weight to each of the one or more possible emotions of the first set based upon both the number of emotions in the set and the common emotions in at least a second set of one or more possible emotions related to at least one other second action unit observed within a predetermined time period.

Apparatus and methods for treating psychiatric disorders, mood disorders and circadian rhythm disorders with a multi-stage light protocol are disclosed. The presently disclosed multi-stage light protocol provides a synergistic treatment including up to 4 types of therapies: bright light therapy, extended sleep deprivation therapy, dawn simulation therapy and short to medium wavelength light therapy. According to some embodiments, the first stage of the protocol includes a first time window of 20 minutes during which, for a majority of the time, the light intensity is between 50 lux and 2000 lux. According to some embodiments, the second stage of the protocol includes a second time window of at least 90 minutes during which, for every 10 minute period within the second time window, for a majority of the time, the light intensity is exceeds 100 lux. According to some embodiments, the third stage of the protocol includes a third time window of 60 minutes during which, for a majority of the time, the light intensity exceeds 2000 lux In some embodiments, the light is provided by apparatus including a plurality of LEDs. Typically, the light includes white light having a broad spectrum. In some embodiments, the light further includes light having a medium wavelength, for example, wavelengths between 520 nm and 535 nm.

A system provides a user an interactive graphic software interface to navigate to an image representative of any particular emotion from within a matrix containing representations of a continuous range of emotional states. The user can then send the selected image to one or more other users or to aggregator servers in order to communicate emotions or to tag or rate various things with emotional significance, so that quantitative statistics on emotional significance can be computed for those things. The system can also be used to track emotional state through a range of time periods or geospatial locations.

This invention is directed to systems and methods for analyzing depression, and more particularly relates to systems and methods for analyzing and assessing depression and mood disorders in an individual using electroencephalographic measurements. Embodiments of the invention are not limited to depression, but can also include other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and other disorders with at least one genetic-related component.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for augmenting electronic communications with emotional context. Electronic communications is received from a first device (115-b-1). An expression of a user of the first device is captured at the first device (115-b-1). Data based on the captured expression is received from the first device. The received data is analyzed to determine emotional context associated with the user of the first device (115-b-1). A haptic response is generated based on the determined emotional context. The haptic response is associated with the received electronic communications. The haptic response is provided concurrently with the access of the electronic communications to indicate the emotional context of the user.
