Affect Dynamics
After investigating the dynamical behaviour of the heart rate signal, the subject of my doctoral thesis, I turned to the study of patterns in the variability of affective experiences such as feelings, moods and emotions.
Our latest research has uncovered a new metric for quantifying how often we shift from positive to negative emotions and vice versa. This Positive-to-Negative Affect Shift Ratio (P2N-ASR) showed to be a very good predictor of psychological well-being.
