1 4 th International California Conference Awakening Human Potential in Mind and Body Keep Calm and Carry On: Using Sense Technology as a Bridge Between Mind and Body Presented by: Rosalind Picard, Sc.D., FIEEE" Professor, MIT Media Lab Co-Director, Media Lab Advancing Wellbeing Director, Affective Computing Co-founder and Chief Scientist, Empatica, Inc. Co-founder Affectiva, Inc. Financial rela*onships Full professor employed by MIT at the Media Lab Research sponsors are >75 MIT member companies including Google, Intel, Samsung, NEC, GlaxoSmithKline, Otsuka, Biogen, NSF, NIH. Many of our sponsors make and sell wearable sensors: hqp:// Co- founder, Chairman, Chief ScienSst and Investor in: EmpaSca, Inc providing wearable sensors and analyscs used in clinical and sciensfic studies, and Co- founder and Investor in AffecSva, Inc, providing tools and analyscs to read facial expressions. picard@media.mit.edu" affect.media.mit.edu" Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Sensors Trouble understanding whose emotions?

Sapolsky (Not shown: Enteric division)" Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activates the skin, increasing its conductance. This is called:" Electrodermal activity (EDA) " Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) slows the heart. We use photoplethysmography (PPG) to" measure heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV)" Super Simplified Sweat Gland Model Measuring electrodermal activity (EDA) to understand autonomic stress." EDA is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system." Twitter: #rosalindpicard Measuring electrodermal activity (EDA) to understand what is calming." Does EDA measured as skin conductance exactly measure stress? For scientists, it is a good measure: It goes up with increasing cognitive, emotional, and physical load For non-scientists, there can be misinterpretations, but you can learn and be careful Twitter: #rosalindpicard 2

3 Data from a wedding in India (sensor on ankle, under bride s dress) showing most significant moments Skin conductance changes with music Calm with friends Anxiety just before Wedding Ceremony (Healey, Dabek, Picard, 1998) 1999: Out of the lab, onto Boston roads Boston driving (relatively calm, highway) 13: Healey & Picard, Best Paper of the Decade from IEEE ITS Signals gathered in a driving session Heart rate is NOT a good measure of stress. Heart-rate variability (HRV) is helpful, LF/HF. 3

Right amygdala is associated with threat/negative stimuli Left amygdala is associated with a mix of positive and negative arousal. Ji G, Neugebauer V. (9) Hemispheric lateralization of pain processing by amygdala neurons J Neurophysiol. 9 Oct;2(4): Epub 9 Jul Cases where we d predict right>left EDA: Significant association exists between anxious/depressed symptoms and right amygdala volume (r=.469, P=.2) and not with left amygdala volume." Juranek et al. 6, n=42 children who met criteria for autism spectrum disorders " Studies of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) have shown larger right amygdala activation when viewing masked angry faces (and not masked neutral faces). The amount of right amygdala activation correlated positively with GAD severity. " Monk et al., 8, n=17 youth with GAD, n=12 youth with no psychiatric diagnosis " 39 Free pdf: MIT Student, 7 days, 24 hours/day Electrodermal Activity, μs Why are there such large peaks of arousal during sleep? 7
