I increasingly find looking at "AI" generated images emotionally draining. It's like staring into the void.

FINALLY! I finished the blog post about my #hiking adventure in the #mountains last year. It took me so long to write it because I am more emotionally connected to this tour than to many others.
Well - I hope you enjoy the read!

How Can Autonomous Vehicles Convey Emotions to Pedestrians? A Review of Emotionally Expressive Non-Humanoid Robots
In recent years, researchers and manufacturers have started to investigate ways to enable autonomous vehicles (AVs) to interact with nearby pedestrians in compensation for the absence of human drivers. The majority of these efforts focuses on external human-machine interfaces (eHMIs), using different modalities, such as light patterns or on-road projections, to communicate the AV's intent and awareness. In this paper, we investigate the potential role of affective interfaces to convey emotions …

Safeguarding People's Financial Health in Metaverse with Emotionally Intelligent Virtual Buddy
The Metaverse, an immersive virtual world, has emerged as a shared space where people engage in various activities ranging from social interactions to commerce. Cryptocurrencies [3] and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) [6] play pivotal roles within this virtual realm, reshaping interactions and transactions. Cryptocurrencies, utilizing cryptographic techniques for security, enable decentralized and secure transactions, and NFTs represent ownership or proof of authenticity of unique digital assets thr…

"Sensory distortions aside, I was mentally cognizant & emotionally aware. I remembered the relationship & its demise, but with calm acceptance & no trace of grief or confusion. At times my mind wandered to other topics, like my brain was getting a 'spring cleaning' by reworking other memories." #KetamineTherapy

Facilitating Self-Guided Mental Health Interventions Through Human-Language Model Interaction: A Case Study of Cognitive Restructuring
Self-guided mental health interventions, such as "do-it-yourself" tools to learn and practice coping strategies, show great promise to improve access to mental health care. However, these interventions are often cognitively demanding and emotionally triggering, creating accessibility barriers that limit their wide-scale implementation and adoption. In this paper, we study how human-language model interaction can support self-guided mental health interventions. We take cognitive restructuring, a…
