New method by Ming-Zher Poh -useful for affective computing.

Ming-Zher Poh at MIT  has managed to measure someones pulse rate just by looking at them. Useful - you could tell if someone was lying to you on skype.

More useful if you wanted to measure a users emotional state ( angry sad, happy ) - but I guess you would have to do a long term user evaluation for that ( to assess what is normal).

It presents new ideas, original results and practical experiences in this increasingly important research field. The book consists of 23 chapters categorized into four sections. You can find it here: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/affective_computing It is free to download. Enjoy it!
