Revolutionizing Emotion-Sensing Technology and Cosmic Missions
Tokyo researchers innovate in emotion detection as space missions heat up with global collaborations and cosmic events.
In a groundbreaking development from Tokyo Metropolitan University, researchers have unlocked a new frontier in technology, discovering that the electrical properties of human skin change with emotion.
This finding, detectable just seconds after an emotional stimulus, could dramatically alter our interaction with technology by empowering devices to sense emotions without visual cues.
This advancement highlights a future where emotional AI could seamlessly integrate into our daily lives.
