Affect Dynamics

After several years of research on complexity features of the heart rate, I turned to the study of another highly dynamic signal: human emotional fluctuations.

Our latest research introduced a novel metric for quantifying the propensity to experiment shifts between positive and negative emotional states. Particularly, the Positive-to-Negative Affect Shift Ratio (P2N-ASR) showed to be robust predictor of psychological well-being.
