“…Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of economy, college students need to cultivate better ability to resist pressure, which requires excellent psychological quality. Psychological counseling service in Colleges and universities has developed rapidly in recent years, but there is still a big gap with the demand of college students for psychological counseling service [12][13].…”

The number of image video is increasing at an amazing speed because of its intuitive image and strong information integration. The semantic analysis of image emotion has a broad application prospect and practical value. The purpose of this study is to conduct psychological counseling and personality analysis on the emotion expressed by computer images. In this study, the sun database image database data set is selected to establish a mathematical model of the data, through linear combination of multiple indicators, and convert them into several unrelated indicators, but it can maintain the large amount of information contained in the original indicators, the emotional semantic data is analyzed by principal component analysis, and then combined with classification algorithm to analyze the image emotion character.The results show that the accuracy of character analysis of image emotion reaches 73.55% on average when the binary tree depth = 3. The recognition rate is the highest when the threshold value is 0.8, and the recognition accuracy is 77.33%. It is concluded that the classification algorithm in this study has good accuracy and accuracy for image emotion recognition, and can provide psychological counseling and personality analysis for the emotion contained in the image. It has contributed to the character analysis and mental health of network users.

“…In this study, individuals with the ability for volitional control of piloerection were identified according to the definition of VGP in a previous study (Heathers et al, 2018), and actual elicitation of piloerection was confirmed by objective measurement. Since previous research on objectively measured volitional piloerection has reported a single case (Maxwell, 1902;Lindsley and Sassaman, 1938;Benedek et al, 2010;Uchida et al, 2019), this study provides the first population-level evidence of this ability.…”

“…A measuring device was built to obtain objective data of piloerection. Previous studies have proposed several measuring methods including visual inspection (Craig, 2005), image analysis (Benedek et al, 2010;Uchida et al, 2019), and skin-attached sensor (Kim et al, 2014). In this study, an image-based method proposed in Benedek et al (2010) was employed since it is easy to introduce, and the analysis program (GooseLab) is provided.…”

The ability of volitional control of piloerection has been reported in a rare subset of individuals. This ability may be useful to study involuntary emotional piloerection, as research on this phenomenon has suffered from low reproducibility. However, objective evidence at a group-level and stability under experimental constraints remain to be examined. The present study aimed to validate existing findings of voluntary generated piloerection (VGP) and to examine its potential contribution to neuroscientific research based on objective evidence of this ability. In Study 1, to confirm the characteristics of VGP reported in previous studies and identify individuals with VGP capability, an online survey of VGP candidates found through a large-scale screening was conducted. In Study 2, a total of 18 VGP holders participated in a mail-based piloerection measurement experiment, and the nature of VGP was examined based on the objective evidence obtained by image-based analysis (GooseLab). The results of the web survey largely recapitulated the characteristics of VGP reported in previous studies, and objective measurements revealed the utility of this ability in neuroscientific research. For some participants, VGP appeared to be emotionally promoted, which suggests that VGP shares the emotional nature of involuntary piloerection. The findings from this study demonstrated the possible contribution of VGP to elucidating the mechanism of involuntary emotional piloerection and the neural basis of piloerection itself.

Volitional Control of Piloerection: Objective Evidence and Its Potential Utility in Neuroscience Research

The volitional control of piloerection has been previously reported in a small subset of individuals. Although this ability may be useful to study the mechanism underlying piloerection, there is little existing research on this ability, neither objective evidence at a group-level, nor information about its stability under experimental constraints. The present study aimed to validate existing findings of voluntarily generated piloerection (VGP) and to examine its potential contribution to neuroscientific research based on objective evidence of this ability. In Study 1, to confirm the characteristics of VGP reported in previous studies and identify individuals with VGP capability, an online survey of VGP candidates was conducted. In Study 2, 18 VGP holders participated in a mail-based piloerection measurement experiment, and the nature of VGP was examined based on the objective data obtained by image-based analysis (GooseLab). Study 1 largely confirmed the characteristics of VGP reported in previous studies, and Study 2 demonstrated VGP at a group-level and provided information about the temporal characteristics of this ability, which supports the utility of VGP in neuroscientific research. For some participants, VGP appeared to be emotionally promoted, which suggests that VGP has some relationship with the emotional nature of involuntary piloerection. Although the studies did not tightly control the environment in which VGP was elicited, the findings nonetheless demonstrate the possible contribution of VGP to elucidating the mechanism of involuntary emotional piloerection and the neural basis of piloerection itself.
