Determining the Impact of Emotive Intelligent Spaces

The EIS leverages innovations across multiple disciplines, including sensory environment, computer science, psychology, and real-time human-computer interface. The colors of the LED lights on the EIS wooden panels are controlled by an artificial intelligence computer algorithm that will translate children's physiological responses (Galvanic skin response, body temperature, and blood volume pulse), captured by a digital wristband, into their emotional state and the associated preferred colored lighting. The algorithm was created in a co-investigator's published study11, using fuzzy logic and machine learning techniques (i.e., Decision Tree; accuracy 86%).To successfully carry out this project, our team blends expertise in educational psychology, early intervention, computer science, architecture, and interior design.
