“…Eventually, the study was conducted with self-reported measures, which are for example characterized by potential retrospective reporting biases ( Porter et al, 2000 ). Future studies should thus be conducted in natural settings and capitalize on ecological momentary assessment ( Shiffman et al, 2008 ), in-vivo physiological recording ( Van Doren et al, 2021 ), or retrospective biomarkers of emotions (e.g. hair cortisol for stress ( Brianda et al, 2020 ; Russell et al, 2012 )).…”

“…These findings leave open the possibility that individual differences or moderators may alter the extent to which physiological dynamics contribute to emotions. For instance, some individuals exhibit greater concordance between their physiology and emotional experiences relative to others (Brown et al, 2019;Mauss et al, 2005;Sommerfeldt et al, 2019;Sze et al, 2010;Van Doren et al, 2021). Such differences in concordance could stem from between-person differences in the intensity or frequency of physiological reactivity to evocative stimuli (Del Giudice et al, 2011;Gianaros et al, 2008;Kupper et al, 2021;Manuck et al, 1989) that derive from anatomical or functional differences in the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, or target organs (e.g., Ginty et al, 2014;Lovallo et al, 2012;Uchino et al, 2010;Voellmin et al, 2015).…”

Growing work suggests that interoception, i.e., representations of one’s internal bodily changes, plays a role in shaping emotional experiences. Past studies primarily examine how behavioral accuracy in detecting interoceptive signals (interoceptive ability) relates to emotion, with less work examining self-reported interoceptive facets such as the self-characterizations of one’s interoceptive abilities (interoceptive sensibility) or evaluative beliefs about the value vs. danger of interoceptive signals (interoceptive beliefs). However, existing studies tend to be small and rarely examine physiological reactivity, behavioral, and self-reported dimensions of interoception together in the same sample. As such, it remains unclear whether and how much individual differences in interoceptive facets uniquely and in interaction with physiological reactivity may matter in relation to emotional experience. Herein, 250 healthy young adults completed a laboratory visit with the Whitehead heartbeat detection task (assessing interoceptive ability) and questionnaire measures of interoceptive sensibility and beliefs. At a follow-up session, 227 participants returned to undergo an acute psychosocial stressor with physiological reactivity measures (pre-ejection period, heart rate variability). Immediately after the stressor, individuals self-reported their emotions. Linear regressions revealed that greater sympathetic nervous system reactivity (i.e., pre-ejection period), poorer interoceptive ability (i.e., accuracy), and less positive interoceptive beliefs were related to more intense (particularly, high arousal) emotions during the stressor. Importantly, across models, interoceptive beliefs showed the largest, most consistent main effects and interactions with physiological reactivity (pre-ejection period, heart rate variability). Implications for psychological theories of and individual differences in emotion, stress, and interoception are discussed.

“…With the development of wearable physiological detection, bio-signals sensors can already be built into terminals such as clothes, hats, shoes, gloves, beds and game handles for long-term users’ emotional perception and feedback. The Empatica company launched E4 smart watch to collect data for affective computing researchers [ 19 ]. This watch can collect EDA, PPG and SKT at the wrist, and can also calculate pulse rate (PR) through PPG signal.…”

Multimodal bio-signals acquisition based on wearable devices and using virtual reality (VR) as stimulus source are promising techniques in emotion recognition research field. Numerous studies have shown that emotional states can be better evoked through Immersive Virtual Environments (IVE). The main goal of this paper is to provide researchers with a system for emotion recognition in VR environments. In this paper, we present a wearable forehead bio-signals acquisition pad which is attached to Head-Mounted Displays (HMD), termed HMD Bio Pad. This system can simultaneously record emotion-related two-channel electroencephalography (EEG), one-channel electrodermal activity (EDA), photoplethysmograph (PPG) and skin temperature (SKT) signals. In addition, we develop a human-computer interaction (HCI) interface which researchers can carry out emotion recognition research using VR HMD as stimulus presentation device. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we conducted different experiments to validate the multimodal bio-signals quality, respectively. To validate EEG signal, we have assessed the performance in terms of EEG eyes-blink task and eyes-open and eyes-closed task. The EEG eyes-blink task indicates that the proposed system can achieve comparable EEG signal quality in comparison to the dedicated bio-signals measuring device. The eyes-open and eyes-closed task proves that the proposed system can efficiently record alpha rhythm. Then we used signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Skin Conductance Reaction (SCR) signal to validate the performance for EDA acquisition system. A filtered EDA signal, with a high mean SNR of 28.52 dB, is plotted on HCI interface. Moreover, the SCR signal related to stimulus response can be correctly extracted from EDA signal. The SKT acquisition system has been validated effectively by the temperature change experiment when subjects are in unpleasant emotion. The pulse rate (PR) estimated from PPG signal achieved the low mean average absolute error (AAE), which is 1.12 beats per minute (BPM) over 8 recordings. In summary, the proposed HMD Bio Pad offers a portable, comfortable and easy-to-wear device for recording bio-signals. The proposed system could contribute to emotion recognition research in VR environments.
