The aim of this study was to find out whether is true if our new concept of intelligent emotions stabilization system can constitute another step toward better analysis and understanding of the aformantioned processess. The aim of this study was to compare normative ratings of the Nencki Affective Picutre System standardized images database with the emotional respiratory patterns. Methods: The study group comprised of 150 healthy people (50% females; aged 20-26 years). Computational models of responses to the stimuli and reverse problem were created using the Matlab environment. Results: The models were able to predict the levels of arousal, valence and self-emotional state in 90%. Conclusions: Proposed approach can open a family of novel efficient methods for control of emotions by measure of breathing and appropriate sets of images (e.g. in affective computing applications). Keywords: emotion, affective state, patent-therapist cooperation, computational analysis, artificial intelligence.
