METHOD FOR DETERMINING DEGREE OF EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF ENTERTAINMENT SHOWS ON SPECTATORS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to psychophysiology and can be used for determining a degree of the physiological status change of an individual or a group of individuals as a result of an emotional impact of entertainment shows. Self-contained sensing recorders of physiological parameters are placed on the bodies of several spectators of an entertainment show to characterise an emotional perception: heart rate, level of blood saturation, cardiorhythmography curve shape, electric cardiosignal curve shape, respiratory wave shape, pulse wave shape, galvanic skin response curve shape, electroencephalographic signal curve shape in the occipital deflections, body temperature. Each spectator from the test group is examined to analyse one or more physiological parameters corresponding to the state of rest or the state preceding the beginning of the entertainment show. A beginning moment of recording the physiological parameters is synchronised with a beginning moment of the entertainment show. The above physiological parameters of each spectator from the test group are recorded during the entertainment show for the whole period of the activity. The physiological parameters obtained from each spectator of the test group during the entertainment show are compared with the rest physiological parameters and with the script of the entertainment show; a degree of the emotional response to the script is determined in each spectator. The determined degree of the emotional response provides a basis to make a decision on changing the script of the entertainment show. Providing an optimum emotional effect of the entertainment show is ensured by repeating the above actions more than once for new individuals from the test group in a combination with recording the physiological parameters into the internal memory of the sensing recorders or on an external carrier in case of wire or wireless translation of the signal of the physiological parameters and processing of the obtained data after completion of the entertainment show to eliminate noise factors.

EFFECT: method enables determining the degree of the emotional impact of the entertainment show as shown by deviation of the number of the measured physiological parameters from the values corresponding to the state of rest or the state preceding the beginning of the entertainment show, for the purpose of correcting the script of the entertainment show, if necessary.
