Description:
“Expression of Memory” is a calendar with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that will only show you important dates from your life that correspond to your current emotional facial expression. To begin, you train the calendar on important dates from your life based on your emotional responses to those dates. Once trained, the A.I. will detect your emotional state based on your facial expression and respond with the date and time of the event in your life that corresponds to your current emotional state.
System:
The project uses artificial intelligence (A.I.) to detect someone’s expression and translate it into its emotional equivalent. Prior to this interaction, a simple form is filled out by the participant that asks them to identify dates connected to important emotional events in their life. Once inputted, the system stores this data and will only display it if the expression it sees translates to that emotion.
Background:
Over the years, theorists have studied how emotional states can trigger old memories. Research such as “Mood-Dependent Memory,” “Hebb’s Principle,” and studies on emotional memory show that strong emotional memories can be triggered by similar cues later in life.
