Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that enable inclusion of emotional context in indirect communications based on measured physiological signals of a user. A method of operation of a human mind interface (HMI) system includes determining that a user is preparing an indirect communication, and receiving a measurement of physiological signals related to the user's brain activity. The method includes identifying, within a plurality of stored brain patterns, a brain pattern that corresponds to the measurement received from the physiological sensors; determining, within a plurality of stored emotional states, an emotional state that is linked to the identified brain pattern; and determining, within a plurality of stored expressions, an expression that is linked to the determined emotional state. The method includes augmenting the indirect communication of the user with the determined expression to yield an augmented indirect communication, and sending the augmented indirect communication to the recipient.
