Abstract
In this paper, we study ways and methods to diagnose the emotional state of individuals using external audiovisual stimuli and heart telemetry tools. We apply a mathematical model of neurocognitive brain activity developed specifically for this study to interpret the experimental scheme and its results. This experimental technique is based on monitoring and analyzing the dynamics of heart rate variability (HRV), taking into account the particular context and events occurring around the subject of the study. In addition, we provide a brief description of the theory of information images/representations used for the paradigm and interpretation of the experiment. For this study, we viewed the human mind as a one-dimensional potential hole with finite walls of different sizes and an internal potential barrier modeling the border between consciousness and subconsciousness. We also provided the foundations of the mathematical apparatus for this particular view. This experiment allowed us to identify the characteristic markers of influencing external stimuli, which form a foundation for diagnosing the emotional state of an individual.
Highlights
Heightened stress states and emotional negativization can significantly affect the psychological and physiological state of individuals
Images with higher energy are located “above” and closer to the edge of the individual’s information image space, which is why they interact with external elements much more often
Before each photograph was displayed for the assessment, there was a break of 5 s, the photograph was displayed for 6 s, Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) scales were provided for evaluating the photograph
Summary
Heightened stress states and emotional negativization can significantly affect the psychological and physiological state of individuals. The reasons for these adverse effects can be both external (pandemic, wars, migration crises, etc.) and internal, such as from increased social pressure The latter occurs because modern individuals become increasingly more integrated into a variety of different information processes, which, in turn, produce a growing number of corresponding external stimuli. To develop an appropriate experimental scheme, we need to propose a model capable of correctly displaying the dynamics of information images/representations during the cognitive activity (expressed in the neural activity of a set of synapses and patterns) and give this model a conceptual and mathematical embodiment This model should qualitatively explain the induced processes in the context of the experiment and predict/interpret the final result to deliver the diagnosis. This article proposes new methods for describing the activity of information images (which, in turn, model the neurocognitive activity of an individual) based on the mathematical apparatus of quantum physics (potential holes and virtual particles used in physics to describe fundamental interactions [17,18])
