In this talk I will present recent advances in Behaviomedics - a novel area of using affective computing and social signal processing to help diagnose, monitor, and treat medical conditions that alter expressive behaviour, including recent work on automatic depression detection, ADHD/ASD detection, and gestational age estimation. I will put up the idea of using virtual humans to explore depression monitoring at home, as well as delivering some forms of treatment. This will be part of the BRC work starting in September.
I will be presenting 'Invisible' an artwork and Horizon Impact Campaign project in development in partnership with Nils Jaeger, Holger Schnadelbach, Antony Brown, and my long term collaborators Robin Shackford and the British Brazilian artist and researcher Silvia Leal. I will be looking at what impact might mean for a project that involves two artists and two suitcases with mirrors inside, working with communities in remote places on either side of the Atlantic. I will also run a demonstration of some of the interactive mirror experiments we have been conducting.
