Abstract

This paper presents a number of algorithms andrelated software modules for the automated analysisin real-time of non-verbal cues related to expressivegesture in social interaction. Analysis is based onPhase Synchronisation (PS) and RecurrenceQuantification Analysis. We start from the hypothesisthat PS is one of the low-level social signalsexplaining empathy and dominance in a small groupof users. Real- time implementation of the algorithmsis available in the EyesWeb XMI Social SignalProcessing Library. Applications of the approach isin user-centric media and in particular in activemusic listening (EU ICT FP7 Project SAME).
