New tech that changes your voice can help alter mood
Scientists have created a new digital audio platform that can change the emotional state of a person by modifying the tone of their voice while they are talking, to make them sound happier, sadder or more fearful.
London: Scientists have created a new digital audio platform that can change the emotional state of a person by modifying the tone of their voice while they are talking, to make them sound happier, sadder or more fearful.
New results show that while listening to their altered voices, participants' emotional state change in accordance with the new emotion. In an initial study using a novel digital audio platform, participants read a short story aloud while hearing their own altered voice, sounding happier, sadder or more fearful, through a headset.
The study found that the participants were unaware that their voices were being manipulated, while their emotional state changed in accordance with the manipulated emotion portrayed. This indicates that people do not always control their own voice to meet a specific goal and that people listen to their own voice to learn how they are feeling.
