Abstract

We investigate the use of biosignals (blood volume pressure and electrodermal activity) for person-independent profiling of arousal responses to complex, long-term stimuli. We report the design of a user study with 14 subjects to elicitate affective responses with films of different genres. We present a detailed analysis of the recorded signals and show that it is possible extract information on the differences between films and within each film from biosignals. We use this information to automatically discriminate four film classes in a person-independent fashion with an accuracy of up to 97.8%.
