Whoa. Quote:

In this study, our focus is on examining and modeling three emotions:
happiness, boredom, and irritation.

Okay, I see why they want to do this. They want the software to sense
the user's emotional state so it can adjust to it. As long as they don't
have the computer itself display artificial emotions, I guess that makes
sense. We would not want computers to act irritated. Printers already do
that. The goals are:

First, affective computing researchers could integrate our work to existing
models on physiological signals, improving the accuracy of emotion
detection. Second, machines equipped with a model-based understanding of
their users’ emotions can simulate, *in silico*, alternative courses of
action, deciding on one that is best predicted to achieve the desired
emotional outcome.

Manipulating the user, in short. That's creepy.
