This page provide basic information about which measure to choose and what for!

• For all psychophysiological signals: Ackqnowledge, CISA members, ask to install the software (email).
  IMPORTANT NOTE: data recorded with the latest version of the software may not be immediately compatible with older versions (that you may use to analyze the data). If so, you have two options: * save your newly recorded data in older data files format * save your data in MATLAB format (option save as) and open the *.mat with your version of acqknowledge.

* Option 1: Use the "Save As" command in Acqknowledge software ans choose the Matlab format, it creates a structure.

* Option 2: Use the "load_acq.m" function in Matlab

* Option 3: Use the librairies for reading BIOPAC files (Python) at https://github.com/uwmadison-chm/bioread

- MAHNOB-HCI: 30 participants were shown fragments of movies and pictures, while monitoring them with 6 video cameras, a head-worn microphone, an eye gaze tracker, as well as physiological sensors measuring ECG, EEG (32 channels), respiration amplitude, and skin temperature.
EATMINT: multi-modal and multi-user recordings of affect and social behaviors in a collaborative setting. The following signals were recorded for 30 dyads (i.e. 60 participants) : ECG, EDA, blood volume pulse, respiration and skin temperature; eye-movements (eye-tracking), facial expressions, software actions logs;speech signals and transcripts.

DEAP: multimodal dataset for the analysis of human affective states. The electroencephalogram (EEG) and peripheral physiological signals of 32 participants were recorded as each watched 40 one-minute long excerpts of music videos.
RECOLA: database consists of 9.5 hours of audio, visual, and physiological (electrocardiogram, and electrodermal activity) recordings of online dyadic interactions between 46 French speaking participants, who were solving a task in collaboration.
MMDB: multimodal (video, audio, and physiological) recordings of the social and communicative behavior of toddlers.
