A Scenario-Centred Approach to Emotion Profiling Based on EEG Signal Processing

摘要

The advances we are witnessing at the beginning of the third millennium have shown us with great clarity that the technological culture that humanity is experiencing is growing exponentially leading it to our imaginations as to where this journey will take us. Our generation is gaining an understanding of what these technologies might be such as the origin of the mass of subatomic particles, nanotechnologies, genes editing/repair, artificial intelligence, new types of social networks, fully autonomous vehicles and quantum computers, to name some of them. However, history has taught us that the changes which we will witness in future decades will be even more surprising. For example the machines of the future will likely be able to self-improve at a rate that they quickly outperform us. These future technological advances will undoubtedly bring benefits such as allowing us to solve problems that we cannot solve now, countering climate change, finding new ways of producing food, curing disease, and saving energy, among many others. Also, these advances will raise some philosophical issues e such as what it means to be a human being? If we change our biological substrate are we still human?
