Abstract
This paper discusses how human emotion could be quantified using contextual and physiological
information that has been gathered from a range of sensors, and how this data could then be used to
automatically generate music playlists. I begin by discussing existing affective systems that automatically
generate playlists based on human emotion. I then consider the current work in audio description
analysis. A system is proposed that measures human emotion based on contextual and physiological data
using a range of sensors. The sensors discussed to invoke such contextual characteristics range from
temperature and light to EDA (electro dermal activity) and ECG (electrocardiogram). The concluding
section describes the progress achieved so far, which includes defining datasets using a conceptual
design, microprocessor electronics and data acquisition using MatLab. Lastly, there is brief discussion
of future plans to develop this research
