Biography

Aaron investigates how the voice, face, body, and language, reveal emotion, deception, and cognition for advanced human-computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence applications. Complementary to the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems is their impact on the people using them to make decisions. Aaron also investigates how human decision makers are psychologically affected by, use, perceive, and incorporate the next generation of screening technologies into their lives.
