Abstract
Described herein are stress detection devices and methods of use thereof.
Claims26
A stress detection device, comprising
- (a) a thermal imager for detecting changes in skin temperature in a subject during the questioning of the subject, wherein the thermal imager produces a thermal analog representation, a thermal digital representation, or a combination thereof of the subject;
- (b) a video camera for observing the subject during the questioning of the subject, wherein the video camera produces a video analog representation, a video digital representation, or a combination thereof of the subject;
- (c) a means for interleaving or de-interleaving multiple representations from (a) and (b);
- (d) a means for providing a reference point between audio output data and the representations from (a) and (b);
- an
- (e) a display device for displaying the representations and the audio output data.

- (c) a microphone connected to a computer, wherein the computer comprises software for analyzing changes in voice frequency, voice amplitude, or a combination thereof to produce audio input data, wherein the audio input data provides a reference point for the video output data;
- (d) a multiplexer, quad splitter, or a combination thereof to convert the representations produced by the thermal imager and video camera, and the audio input data to video output data, wherein the video output data can be displayed;
- and
- (e) a display device for displaying the video output data.
