Mapping voices and emotions
I have always been fascinated how mapping technology can be used outside its realm of geography to display information and show a different aspect of data inaccessible to raw number analysis in order to extract information at a higher level.
This study is a perfect example that shows how our voice can be use as proxy data to display our emotions.
The challenge is to use the right syntax to make the data understandable and meaningful. The information can then be corroborated with known facts to confirm or infirm hypothesis and advance knowledge.
Here, the science study from the University of Berkeley states that:
"Previous studies had pegged the number of emotions we can express with vocal bursts at around 13. But when the UC Berkeley team analyzed their results, they found there are at least 24 distinct ways that humans convey meaning without words.
“Our findings show that the voice is a much more powerful tool for expressing emotion than previously assumed,” said study lead author Alan Cowen, a psychology graduate at UC Berkeley, in a press release.
