imageTechnology brings you another miracle of modern world, a computer that can understand what you are feeling happy, sad, angry, and so on.

The amazing device called the EQ Radio comes from the researchers at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which can detect a person's emotions using wireless signals that measure heartbeats as the signals bounce off a person's body to measure human behavior.

Developed by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, reported Telegram. The device is 87 percent accurate, in recognizing whether a person is in joy, pleasure, sadness or anger.

Now, how it works? It works by bouncing wireless signals off a person, which are impacted by motion, such as breathing and heartbeats. I.e. when the heart pumps blood, a force is exerted onto our bodies, and the skin vibrate, reported MITNews.

"The heartbeat and the breathing. This kind of vital sign, as you would expect, is related to our emotion — he's now angry, he's now happy, he's sad. And all of that without touching the person's body," said MIT professor Dina Katabi, the leader of the project.

Coming to the uses of the EQ Radio, it could be used in several sectors i.e. entertainment, consumer advertising and healthcare verticals, reported TechCrunch. For example it could be use it in smart TVs to more accurately gauge viewer response to ads and programming.
