A computational model of mind-reading
> Peter Robinson >
Drawing inspiration from psychology, computer vision and machine learning, our team in the
Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has developed mind-reading machines
Using a digital video camera, the mind-reading computer system analyzes a person’s facial expressions in real time and infers that person’s underlying mental state, such as whether he or she is agreeing or disagreeing, interested or bored, thinking or confused. The system is informed by the latest developments in the theory of mind-reading by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, who leads the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge.
