This course is about technologies and applications that either reproduce/induce emotional states or sense and adapt to user physiological state. The course work will include design of the affective computing application.

Topics to be covered in the course include (but not limited to):
- Physiology of emotion
- Emotions elicitation
- Measurement of emotional and cognitive states
- Properties of psychophysiological signals and basic processing
- Affective “waveform” and temporal dynamics of emotional experience
- Physiology-based interaction
- Implicit interaction
- Brain-Computer Interfaces (both active and passive)

Upon completing the course the student:
- is aware of the main principles of affective and physiological computing;
- is able to apply this knowledge in design/creation of new HCI applications including digital games.
