Abstract

In this paper, we present an application of interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) to emotional recognition in psychology, and show its possibility to general mental health measurement. In our experiments, 5 high-anxiety and 4 low-anxiety subjects are requested to design a happy facial image and a fearful facial image using an IEC-based CG facial image generation system. And then, other 70 students (evaluators) evaluate their images with a 5-level scale to estimate the range of each subject´s emotional perception. Experimental results showed that the emotional perception range of high-anxiety subjects is narrower than that of low-anxiety subjects.
