Emotion Detecting

This is hard enough for people let alone machines to be able to do it yet software development is having a crack at it. Led by computer scientists at the University of Rochester in New York. The software doesn't need to gather information about what is actually being said; it just analyzes the tone of voice. It accurately pinpoints emotions — including sadness, happiness, fear and disgust — 81 percent of the time in people whose voices it has previously analyzed. As with any software that uses data gathered from users, it can be used for fraud and scams. While it works well for people for whom it has received "training data" — samples of a person's voice that are labeled with the correct emotion — it's much less accurate at identifying emotions in a new person's voice. For people who are new to the software, it is able to detect the correct emotion 31 percent of the time. It wouldn't be practical to get training data from each person who would interact with the software, however. Researchers would have to catch recordings of people in the midst of talking angrily, happily and with every other emotion. Heinzelman wants to make a program that uses a limited set of training data to identify anybody's emotions.

Look Past the Limits

As far as New Years resolutions go, is inspiring yourself and your mind on the list? I bet you did not even think about it. To be able to live to the fullest, we need to understand how our most important asset even works. The brain is a complicated organ and we have not even begun to understand just how complex it is and the depth of what it can do. Without it we cannot function, so it is amazing just how many people go about their lives just ignoring and not cultivating it. So you may be asking just how it is possible to do so. No amount of mobile application development is going to replace the actual work that you would have to do to inspire your mind. Take care of stress. Avoid dulling routine. Do something creative every day. Read poetry, spiritual material or anything else that makes you feel uplifted. Take time to be in nature. Bond with another person who is heartwarming. Pay attention to being happy. Make sure you take time every day by yourself to relax, meditate and self-reflect. Deal with negative emotions like anger and anxiety. Focus on activity that makes you feel fulfilled. Give of yourself. Follow a personal vision. Attach yourself to a cause that is bigger than you are. Take the risk to love and be loved. And the way that people ignore their minds: Get set in your ways. Don't look beyond your opinions, likes and dislikes. Isolate yourself from others. Take relationships for granted. Reconcile yourself to going downhill as you age. Look upon the past as the best time of your life. Forget about having ideals. Act on selfish impulses. Don't examine what makes you tick. Give in to anger and anxiety. Let life take care of itself. Go along to get along. Assume that you are automatically right. Avoid anything new or challenging. Put up with stress. Take no emotional risks. Distract yourself with mindless diversions like watching sports for hours on end. The first step in forming a better relationship with your brain is to realize that you have a relationship. Once you realize this, you can choose to pay attention to the relationship and nurture it. You are in on a secret that escapes countless people. Take advantage of it.

Be Happy Be Healthy

As we enter the new year and hit the ground running, it can always be good to look back on the year that was and learn a thing or two from the things that we did right and the mistakes that were made. Entrepreneurs experience more worry and stress than other workers, but they also report more positive experiences on the job, Gallup found in 2012. In particular, entrepreneurs are more optimistic and more likely to report that they learned something new or felt enjoyment in the past workday. Entrepreneurs are less likely to have chronic diagnoses, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. They also are much less likely to be obese than other workers. This goes the same for people who work on IT projects such as web development where creativity and a lot of decision making is done. Heading back to work after the weekend is easy for employees who like their jobs, but it's a much more jarring transition for those who don't. Gallup found that employees who are disengaged at work experience a significant slump in mood when going from weekends to weekdays. In another finding, actively engaged workers who are enthusiastic about their work are unfazed by long commute times, which otherwise can be a drag on happiness.
