Abstract
Applications for a Content Engagement Power (CEP) value include generating a script, text, or other communication content or for controlling playout of communication content based on neuro-physiological data, gathering neuro-physiological data correlated to consumption of communication content, or rating effectiveness of personal communications. The CEP is computed based on neuro-physiological sensor data processed to express engagement with content along multiple dimensions such as valence, arousal, and dominance. An apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- calibrating, by one or more processors, a cognitive appraisal model that is configured to map biometric data to one or more cognitive parameters randomized in a vector space;
- generating or modifying, by the one or more processors, one or more scripts based at least in part on modeling one or more character interactions by varying the one or more cognitive parameters with respect to at least one of the one or more scripts;
- for a plurality of segments of the one or more scripts, generating, by the one or more processors, based on the cognitive appraisal model, an estimated measure of effectiveness of a respective segment in producing one or more targeted neuro-physiological responses by a target user according to a targeted story arc, wherein the targeted story arc comprises a plurality of targeted neurophysiological values associated with respective intervals of a time sequence;
- selecting, by the one or more processors, one or more segments the plurality of segments as one or more next segments, the selecting based on the estimated measure of effectiveness of the segment;
- generating or modifying, by the one or more processors, a script based on the one or more next segments;
- and
- providing, by the one or more processors, the generated or modified script or electronic content generated based on the generated or modified script to the target user.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing program instructions;
- one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions, and based on the executed program instructions, the one or more processors is further configured to:
- calibrate a cognitive appraisal model that is configured to map biometric data to one or more cognitive parameters randomized in a vector space;
- generate or modify a plurality of one or more scripts based at least in part on modeling the one or more character interactions while varying the one or more cognitive parameters with respect to at least one of the one or more scripts;
- for a plurality of segments of the one or more scripts, generate, based on the cognitive appraisal model, an estimated measure of effectiveness for each script of a respective segment in producing one or more targeted neuro-physiological responses by a target user based on according to a targeted story arc, wherein the targeted story arc comprises a plurality of targeted neuro-physiological values associated with respective intervals of a time sequence;
- select one or more segments of the plurality of segments as one or more next segments, the selecting based at least on the estimated measure of effectiveness;
- generate or modify a script based on the one or more next segments;
- and
- provide the generated or modified script or electronic content generated based on the generated or modified script to the target user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- calibrate a cognitive appraisal model that is configured to map biometric data to one or more cognitive parameters randomized in a vector space;
- generate a plurality of one or more scripts based at least in part on modeling the one or more character interactions while varying the one or more cognitive parameters with respect to at least one of the one or more scripts;
- for a plurality of segments of the one or more scripts, generate, based on the cognitive appraisal model, an estimated measure of effectiveness for each script of a respective segment in producing one or more targeted neuro-physiological responses by a target user based on according to a targeted story arc, wherein the targeted story arc comprises a plurality of targeted neuro-physiological values associated with respective intervals of a time sequence;
- select one or more segments of the plurality of segments as one or more next segments, the selecting based at least on the estimated measure of effectiveness;
- generate or modify a script based on the one or more next segments;
- and
- provide the generated or modified script or electronic content generated based on the generated or modified script to the target user.
