Learning outcomes
Conoscenze

Modulo di Affective Computing: Lo studente acquisirà conoscenze relative alle emozioni e alle sue correlazioni con i segnali fisiologici. Oltre alle emozioni verranno studiati anche i correlati fisiologici con i disordini mentali 

Knowledge

Students will gain knowledge about theories of emotion and mood disorders. Specifically they will learn how to model emotions and how to correlate them to the patterns of physiological signals. 

Modalità di verifica delle conoscenze

Modulo di Affective Computing: Le conoscenze acquisite verranno verificate attraverso test in itinere e finale

Assessment criteria of knowledge

The gained knowledge will be assessed through ongoing tests.

Capacità

Modulo di Affective Computing: Lo studente sarà in grado di capire le relazioni tra pattern di segnali fisioligici e emozioni, quindi sarà in grado di identificare e caratterizzare le emozioni oltre che capire la neurofisiologia dei disordini mentali. 

Skills

Students will be able to process physiological data applying advanced linear and nonlinear methods trying to correlate that to the emotional experiences.  

Modalità di verifica delle capacità

Modulo di Affective Computing: Progetto sperimentale finale e prova orale

Assessment criteria of skills

It is planned a final project with an experimental paradigm. 

Comportamenti

Modulo di Affective Computing: Capacità di progettare un protocollo sperimentale e definire un paradigma dettagliato

Behaviors

Real experimental data will be collected with a suitable protocol 

Modalità di verifica dei comportamenti

Modulo di Affective Computing: Progetto sperimentale finale

Assessment criteria of behaviors

Assessment will be done through the design a final experimental protocol
