Use of predictive anticipatory psychophysiological responses for the prediction of random events

In collaboration with Giovanni MENTO, M. MARTINELLI, Gian Marco DUMA (Dipartimento di Psicologia Generale)

ABSTRACT:

The main objective of this project is to verify how predictive anticipatory psychophysiological responses, i.e. pupil dilation, EEG, heart rate, can be used for the prediction of future random events of different emotional valence by devising portable apparatuses.
