Abstract

This paper presents a Japanese emotional database that contains speech and physiological signals that can be used to develop algorithms for emotion recognition using audio, physiological signals, or several combined signals. Research on emotions was underpinned by using this database, and health-care oriented applications were the main reason this database was constructed. All six basic human emotions were elicited by using real emotional experiences, which had different impacts on health conditions. We also describe the experimental setup and protocols. Finally, signals from more than 50 people were included in the database.
