皮膚電気活動によるお笑いビデオの面白さ判定

The need for technology to predict subjective experiences based on physiological signals has increased. Our study investigated the relationship between the comicalness of comedian videos and skin conductance responses recorded while watching videos. Through a user study involving eleven participants, subjective scores of a video’s funniness were predicted by multiple linear regression analysis using five types of feature values computed from skin conductance responses. We found that the most influential feature is the number of local peaks in the skin conductance response per unit of time. The correlation coefficient between the observed and predicted funniness scores is 0.53. These findings are useful for the objective evaluation of entertainment experiences.
