Emotional Responses to Sensory Feedback

Dear Colleagues,

Sensory feedback has a central role in user experience and emotional responses. Manipulation of the physical characteristics of the environment (e.g., luminosity, tactile characteristics, sounds, scents, taste, or a combination of these) can heavily affect people beyond the simple comfortable/uncomfortable axis.

The systems built to stimulate senses for emotions can be complex. For example, in affective computing, systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and stimulate human emotions in an intelligent manner are being developed. Examples of interesting solutions to simulate, measure, and analyze emotional responses to sensory feedback include but are not limited to novel and smart emotion sensing technologies, virtual technologies, emotion recognition from multiple sensory sources, and artificial intelligence.

This Special Issue of Sensors aims to report original research papers focused on measuring emotional responses to sensory feedback. Potential inputs include but are not limited to a) novel actuators and innovative solutions for human–computer interaction or human–machine interaction, b) measuring of emotional responses to sensory stimulation, c) human–robot interaction, and d) multimodality.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
