| Measuring Mental State based on Neuro – Physiological Interface of Affect using EEG Abstract : The lack of easily available psychological instruments to perform accurate prediction of mental health state, forces individual not to realize their state of mental health or brain developmental disorder until it is too late. The availability of Electroencephalogram (EEG) devices and its ability to measure and capture brain waves for analysis makes it easier for researchers to use them in understanding the functionality and state of the brain. The mobility and low cost EEG devices makes it attractive for researchers and managers to profile employees for a more effectives training needs. In the case of brain developmental disorder it becomes important to have early detection as early intervention can help individual to lead a more normal life. Here we show some of the examples of our researches and analysis in understandings the functionality of the brain through affective psychological understanding. The neuro-physiological interaction of affect framework allow us to analyze and predict behavior through personality traits, which provides new avenue and possibilities of profiling individual effectively. In addition unknown addiction problem and learning disbailities can also be detected for early intervention. |
