In this paper the problem of emotion recognition using physiological signals is presented. Firstly the problems with acquisition of physiological signals related to specific human emotions are described. It is not a trivial problem to elicit real emotions and to choose stimuli that always, and for all people, elicit the same emotion. Also different kinds of physiological signals for emotion recognition are considered. A set of the most helpful biosignals is chosen. An experiment is described that was performed in order to verify the possibility of eliciting real emotions using specially prepared multimedia presentations, as well as finding physiological signals that are most correlated with human emotions. The experiment was useful for detecting and identifying many problems and helping to find their solutions. The results of this research can be used for creation of affect-aware applications, for instance video games, that will be able to react to user’s emotions.
