Abstract

Mind reading is the ability to infer other people’s mental state and use that to make sense of and predict their behavior and also to understand both oneself and other agents in terms of beliefs, desires and intentions[15]. A lack of or impairment in the theory of mind (mindblindness) is thought to be the primary inhibitor of emotion understanding and social intelligence in individuals with autism[6] .The goal in building mind reading machines is to enable computer technologies to understand and react to people’s emotions and mental states. In this paper we present how to read minds using different techniques. The paper presents a mind-reading architecture based on an Eye Language Interpreter and Baron-
Cohen’s Mindre ading System. This architecture enables the recognition and prediction of complex mental states, allowing for more natural man-machine interaction. This paper also presents where mind reading useful.

INTRODUCTION

A theory of mind is a representational set of abilities that allows one to mind read. It is the ability to attribute mental states to others, and use that to understand the actions and expressions of others within an intentional or goal-directed framework (Dennett in [11] refers to that as the intentional stance). Facial movements and eye language in particular play a crucial role in recognizing basic emotions (such as happiness, sadness, disgust and fear) as well as “cognitive”or complex mental states (such as distrust, recognize, scheme, admire, interest, thoughtfulness, etc.) [9]. Using a digital video camera, the mind-reading computer ppt system analyzes a person's facial expressions in real time and infers that person's underlying mental state, such as whether he or she is agreeing or disagreeing, interested or bored, thinking or confused.
