Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the multimodal expression of emotions. We are not only interested in differences in the intensity of the expressed emotions, but also in their composition in terms of the fusion of different modalities. By comparing persons with dementia to healthy controls in a comparative study and assessing changes in multimodal emotion expression in persons with dementia in the longitudinal study, the effect of dementia on emotions can be studied. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| With the data collected in this study, a corpus will be built for automatic extraction of facial and speech expressions regarding automatic recognition of emotions. The automatic recognition model of emotions can be established through machine learning. The corpus will be made available to other researchers who are interested in further work on automated emotion recognition. | — |
