description: EmoPulse Moments E4 Dataset (EPM-E4): An Exhaustive Collection of Emotion-Related Data from Empatica E4 Wearable


 


 


Description:


The EmoPulse Moments E4 Dataset (EPM-E4) is a meticulously curated dataset, derived from 53 participants using the Empatica E4 wearable, a cutting-edge device capturing emotional responses in real-time. This dataset offers a treasure trove of information for those engrossed in emotion analysis, wearable technology, and psychophysiological research.


Dataset Highlights:



	
Continuous Physiological Data: Including heart rate, electrodermal activity, and skin temperature, revealing the body's emotional state.
	
Motion Tracking: Captures the device's 3D movement, integrating context with emotion.
	
Blood Volume Pulse (BVP): Providing insights into cardiovascular activities related to emotional arousal.
	
Intra-day Variability: Chronicling daily emotional patterns and changes, spotlighting moments of heightened emotional intensity.
	
Wearable-specific Metrics: Device battery levels, operational status, and other key indicators are documented with precision.
	
Consent and Ethics: The dataset respects and upholds privacy and ethical standards. Every participant provided informed consent. This endeavor has received the green light from the Ethics Committee at the University of Granada, documented under the reference: 2100/CEIH/2021.



A major attribute of EPM-E4 is the in-depth exploration of "key moments" within the viewed clips, targeting instances that are predicted to intensify emotional reactions.
