Abstract
An individual can exhibit one or more mental states when reacting to a stimulus. A camera or other monitoring device can be used to collect, on an intermittent basis, mental state data including facial data. The mental state data can be interpolated between the intermittent collecting. The facial data can be obtained from a series of images of the individual where the images are captured intermittently. A second face can be identified, and the first face and the second face can be tracked.
