It’s not always easy to detect the emotions of others, but this new wearable might make it a bit easier.
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new wearable that can be used to detect the underlying emotions of others. Specifically, once the wearable is placed on the wrist, it wireless measures electrical changes across the skin, according to MIT.

mPath’s MOXO sensor, used primarily for market research, is a wearable that resembles a bulky smartwatch. Placed on the wrist, it wirelessly measures changes in skin conductance (subtle electrical changes across the skin), which reflect sympathetic nervous system activity and physiological arousal. Spikes in conductance can signal stress and frustration, while dips may indicate disinterest or boredom. (Credit: mPath)
