Affect Recognition

Affect recognition is the ability to identify and interpret emotional expressions in others, often through their facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. It involves understanding feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, and surprise. Affect recognition is important in social interactions, as it helps us respond appropriately to others' emotions. In technology, it can refer to systems that analyze emotional cues, such as artificial intelligence that recognizes emotions from images or speech, enhancing human-computer interaction and applications in areas like mental health and communication.
