A Tweet of the Mind: Automated Emotion Detection for Social Media Using Brain Wave Pattern Analysis

Abstract

While millions of individuals around the globe use social media every second to disseminate, in some form, their emotions and experiences, there are still some situational challenges these individuals face while trying to share experience over social media. This work introduces the idea of using a Brain Computer Interface device to detect human emotion, which is then paired with geo-location information and automatically posted to a popular social media service. A complete architecture of a system that implements this idea is proposed and implemented, where Brain Pattern Analysis is performed using an Electroencephalogram device and a mobile computing device.
