ABSTRACT 

Research on the perception of emotional expressions in faces and voices is exploding in psychology, the neurosciences, and affective computing. This article provides an overview of some of the major emotion expression (EE) corpora currently available for empirical research and introduces a new, dynamic, multimodal corpus of emotion expressions, the Geneva Multimodal Expression Portrayals Core Set (GEMEP-CS). The design features of the corpus are outlined and justified, and detailed validation data for the core set selection are presented and discussed. Finally, an associated database with micro-coded facial, vocal, and body action elements, as well as observer ratings, is introduced. 

 

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 

 

From this web page you can download the supplemental material that includes:

 

  • Mean ratings of Intensity, Plausibility, and Authenticity for the GEMEP-CS stimuli
  • Confusion matrices for the stimuli of the GEMEP-CS stimuli in three rating modalities: Audio only -Video only - Audio&Video, and different accuracy indices
  • Emotion stimulus hit rate and unbiased hit rate per encoder
