Abstract
Video of one or more people is obtained and analyzed. Heart rate information is determined from the video. The heart rate information is used in mental state analysis. The heart rate information and resulting mental state analysis are correlated to stimuli, such as digital media, which is consumed or with which a person interacts. The heart rate information is used to infer mental states. The inferred mental states are used to output a mood measurement. The mental state analysis, based on the heart rate information, is used to optimize digital media or modify a digital game. Training is employed in the analysis. Machine learning is engaged to facilitate the training.
