Item An Intelligent Auditory and Visual Stimulation System for Indoor Spaces: Human Biosignals in Response to Stimuli(Korea Information Processing Society, 2025) Alvarez Garcia, Gonzalo Alberto; Zúñiga Cañón, Claudia Liliana; Garcia Sanchez, Antonio Javier; Garcia Haro, Joan; Asorey Cacheda, RafaelIn the age of digitalization, merging artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in groundbreaking systems capable of impacting human behavior. This paper focuses on a system that integrates AIoT technology and explores its impact on human emotions and behavior to enhance human experiences in indoor spaces. The study developed a system that orchestrates a series of auditory and visual cues and monitors brain and cardiac responses to identify the effectiveness of audio–visual stimuli. AI algorithms enable us to comprehend and recommend actions concerning the stimuli within the civil infrastructure, thereby influencing individual and group behavior. The proposed system produces auditory stimuli, such as music or ambient sounds, along with visual stimuli, such as lighting and information systems. The system collected electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals to validate the capacity of these stimuli. This technological integration empowered the system to adjust to the needs of individuals and groups, thus enhancing the indoor experience. The study focused on identifying EEG responses in the late positive potential (LPP) and their correlation with ECG responses, particularly within LPP as an EEG component, as it relates to decision-making and emotional perception. By determining the LPP, the system can tailor auditory and visual stimulation to enhance user experience. This system has applications for enhancing learning, public space comfort, and mental well-being. Through adjusting auditory and visual stimulation based on biometric signals, the system can foster a more comfortable environment for concentration, productivity, or relaxation. Despite its potential, the system presents challenges such as individual variability and the need for clinical validation. Furthermore, ethical and privacy considerations must be addressed to prevent the use of invasive technologies. In conclusion, the proposed system is a significant advancement in the intersection of AIoT technology and its influence on biological processes. While challenges remain, the system’s capacity to enrich the human experience in indoor settings is promising.Item Artificial Intelligence of Behavior for Human Emotion Recognition in Closed Environments(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Alvarez Garcia, Gonzalo Alberto; Zuniga Canon, Claudia; Garcia Sanchez, Antonio Javier; Garcia Haro, Joan; Sarria Paja, Milton; Asorey Cacheda, RafaelUnderstanding human emotions and behavior in closed environments is essential for creating more empathetic and humane spaces. Environmental factors, such as temperature, noise, and light, play a crucial role in influencing behavior, but individuals' emotional states are equally important and often go unnoticed. Artificial Intelligence of Behavior (AIoB) offers a novel approach that integrates environmental measurements with human emotions to create spatially adaptive processes that can influence behavior. In this article, we present a new human emotion sensor developed using video cameras and implemented on a System on Chip (SoC) development board. Our approach uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to recognize the presence of emotions in enclosed spaces and generate parameters that can influence emotional states and behavior within an AIoB system. The research successfully integrates advanced CNN technology into a System on Chip (SoC) platform, allowing for real-time processing of video data. The versatility of utilizing an energy-efficient SoC extends its application to smart environments aimed at improving mental health. By employing algorithms capable of detecting emotional states across various individuals, the study enhances its effectiveness. Additionally, it identifies the best CNN operations tailored to the technical specifications of the devices involved. Thus, The development involves a three-step process: (i) collecting enough data to build a robust model, (ii) training the model and evaluating its performance using test values, and (iii) applying the model on the development board. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using AIoB to recognize and respond to human emotions in closed areas. By integrating emotional cues with environmental measurements, our system can create more personalized and empathetic spaces that cater to the needs of individuals. Our approach could have significant implications for designing public spaces to promote well-being and emotional satisfaction.Item Optimizing Ambiance: Intelligent RGB Lighting Control in Structures Using Fuzzy Logic(MDPI, 2024) Alvarez Garcia, Gonzalo Alberto; Zúñiga Cañón, Claudia Liliana; Garcia Sanchez, Antonio Javier; Garcia Haro, Joan; Asorey Cacheda, RafaelManaging red–green–blue (RGB) lighting conditions within structures may evoke emotions and positively influence behavior. Intelligent RGB lighting systems based on environmental data measurements can substantially enhance the perception of comfort. This study presents a challenge that requires a holistic and integrated approach to implement an automatic RGB artificial lighting control system that can be utilized in various structures and indoor environments. Initially, the challenge spans the identification of environmental variables directly impacting comfort up to the careful selection of suitable sensors. The result is the development of a sophisticated and autonomous system that can adjust RGB lighting in real time, creating environments that are both comfortable and energy-efficient. This automated system fosters the creation of appropriate atmospheres across different contexts. The identification and monitoring of environmental variables are achieved through a neuro-fuzzy control mechanism, where fuzzy rules and membership functions are defined based on late positive potential timings and the influence of artificial lighting on human emotions. The outcomes from this study are an interconnected system capable of performing both online and offline operations to enable the monitoring of environmental variables and the efficient management of artificial lighting based on these metrics. A pilot study, with reference to an EEG wave registry system, yielded significant results. These tests had a statistically relevant result with an average frequency of approximately 9.8 Hz, indicative of a state of comfort among people. Despite a 10% deviation margin, 87% of measurements during the test remained consistent. This research study contributes to human behavior by fostering a relaxing environment and enabling a reduction in energy consumption through the use of efficient lighting. Moreover, the environment intention enables the creation of stimuli in three emotional states: activation, relaxation, and neutral, allowing behavioral adaptation to an intention to occur automatically in fluctuating environmental conditions.
