Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to adjust content presented to an individual are disclosed. An example system includes a first modality sensor to measure a first response of an individual to first content during a first time frame and a second modality sensor to measure a second response of the individual to the first content during the first time frame. The first modality sensor is to measure a third response of the individual to first content during a second time frame, and the second modality sensor is to measure a fourth response of the individual to the first content during the second time frame. The example system also includes a mental classifier executing instructions to determine a first mental classification of the individual based on a first comparison of the first response to a first threshold and a second comparison of the second response to a second threshold. The mental classifier also is to determine a second mental classification of the individual based on a third comparison of the third response to a third threshold and a fourth comparison of the fourth response to a fourth threshold. In addition, the mental classified is to determine a mental state of the individual based on a degree of similarity between the first mental classification and the second mental classification. The example system also includes a content modifier to at least one of modify the first content to include second content or replace the first content with second content based on the mental state.

Methods and apparatus to adjust content presented to an individual

Systems and methods for measuring biologically and behaviorally based responses to social media, locations, or experiences and providing instant and continuous feedback in response thereto are disclosed. An example system includes a first sensor to determine an emotional response of a user exposed to a social media application, a second sensor to determine a current activity of the user, and a third sensor to determine an environment of the user. The example system also establishes a priority schedule based on the emotional response, the current activity, and the environment. The system also correlates, based on the priority schedule, an advertisement with at least one of the emotional response, activity, or the environment. In addition, the example system presents the advertisement based on the priority schedule and the correlation of the advertisement with the at least one of the activity, the environment, or the emotional response.

System and method for gathering and analyzing biometric user feedback for use in social media and advertising applications

The present invention is directed to a method and system for predicting the behavior of an audience based on the biologically based responses of the audience to a presentation that provides a sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience to the presentation. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for predicting whether an audience is likely to view a presentation in its entirety. In addition, the present invention may be used to determine the point at which an audience is likely to change their attention to an alternative sensory stimulating experience including fast forwarding through recorded content, changing the channel or leaving the room when viewing live content, or otherwise redirecting their engagement from the sensory stimulating experience.

Method and system for predicting audience viewing behavior

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to adjust content presented to an individual are disclosed. An example method includes measuring, via sensors, responses of an individual to content during a first time, determining response classifications based on a comparison of the responses and respective thresholds, determining a first mental classification of the individual based on combining the response classifications, determining a baseline during the first time, measuring additional responses to the content during a second time, determining additional response classifications based on a comparison of the additional responses to respective additional thresholds, adjusting the baseline based on the additional responses in the second time, determining a second mental classification of the individual based on combining the additional response classifications, determining a mental state of a user based on a similarity of the first mental classification and the second mental classification, and modifying the content based on the mental state.

A system and method for measuring biologically and behaviorally based responses to social media, locations, or experiences and providing instant and continuous feedback in response thereto. The system and method of the invention is capable of monitoring stress levels and well-being and may be implemented using a cloud-based infrastructure for remote monitoring.

The present invention is directed to a method and system for measuring the biologically based responses of an audience to a presentation that provides sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience to the presentation. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for measuring one or more biologically based responses of one or more persons being exposed to the presentation in order to determine the moment-to-moment pattern and overall level of engagement. Further, the invention can be used to determine whether the presentation or the content in the presentation is more effective in a population relative to other presentations (or content) and other populations and to help identify elements of the presentation that contribute to the high level of engagement and the effectiveness and success of the presentation for that population.

Method and system for determining audience response to a sensory stimulus

Systems and methods for measuring biologically and behaviorally based responses to content in targeted demographics and locations by way of remote monitoring. Stimuli may be based on location, target demographics, and combinations thereof.

Method and system for gathering and computing an audience's neurologically-based reactions in a distributed framework involving remote storage and computing

The present invention relates to biologically and behaviorally based systems and methods for measuring audience response to a target stimulus. The systems and methods are deployable in multiple locations and may display stimuli based on location, target demographics, and combinations thereof.
