Assessing the effectiveness of a large database of emotion-eliciting films : a new tool for emotion researchers
TLDR
In this article, the authors developed and tested the effectiveness of a new and comprehensive set of emotional film excerpts and found that the film clips were effective with regard to several criteria such as emotional discreteness, arousal, positive and negative affect.Abstract:
Using emotional film clips is one of the most popular and effective methods of emotion elicitation. The main goal of the present study was to develop and test the effectiveness of a new and comprehensive set of emotional film excerpts. Fifty film experts were asked to remember specific film scenes that elicited fear, anger, sadness, disgust, amusement, tenderness, as well as emotionally neutral scenes. For each emotion, the 10 most frequently mentioned scenes were selected and cut into film clips. Next, 364 participants viewed the film clips in individual laboratory sessions and rated each film on multiple dimensions. Results showed that the film clips were effective with regard to several criteria such as emotional discreteness, arousal, positive and negative affect. Finally, ranking scores were computed for 24 classification criteria: Subjective arousal, positive and negative affect (derived from the PANAS; Watson & Tellegen, 1988), a positive and a negative affect scores derived from the Differential Emotions Scale (DES; Izard et al., 1974), six emotional discreteness scores (for anger, disgust, sadness, fear, amusement and tenderness), and 15 “mixed feelings” scores assessing the effectiveness of each film excerpt to produce blends of specific emotions. In addition, a number of emotionally neutral film clips were also validated. The database and editing instructions to construct the film clips have been made freely available in a website.read more

Identifying Stable Patterns over Time for Emotion Recognition from EEG
TL;DR: The experimental results indicate that stable patterns of electroencephalogram (EEG) over time for emotion recognition exhibit consistency across sessions; the lateral temporal areas activate more for positive emotions than negative emotions in beta and gamma bands; and the neural patterns of neutral emotions have higher alpha responses at parietal and occipital sites.

EmotionMeter: A Multimodal Framework for Recognizing Human Emotions
TL;DR: The experimental results demonstrate that modality fusion with multimodal deep neural networks can significantly enhance the performance compared with a single modality, and the best mean accuracy of 85.11% is achieved for four emotions.

Analysis of EEG Signals and Facial Expressions for Continuous Emotion Detection
TL;DR: The effect of the contamination of facial muscle activities on EEG signals is analyzed and it is found that most of the emotionally valuable content in EEG features are as a result of this contamination, however, the statistical analysis showed that EEG signals still carry complementary information in presence of facial expressions.

LIRIS-ACCEDE: A Video Database for Affective Content Analysis
TL;DR: A large video database, namely LIRIS-ACCEDE, is proposed, which consists of 9,800 good quality video excerpts with a large content diversity and provides four experimental protocols and a baseline for prediction of emotions using a large set of both visual and audio features.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.
TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.

An argument for basic emotions
TL;DR: This work has shown that not only the intensity of an emotion but also its direction may vary greatly both in the amygdala and in the brain during the course of emotion regulation.

TL;DR: Reappraisal decreased disgust experience, whereas suppression increased sympathetic activation, suggesting that these 2 emotion regulatory processes may have different adaptive consequences.
