Title: can emotions be measured in a numerical value? Post by: precrime3 on April 06, 2014, 04:36:22 PM I remember reading Alex Rider, and in the last one, the antagonist wants to measure pain in rhazims or whatever. He uses Alex Rider as a test subject. Is it actually possible to do that? And if so, how?

You would have to get into the brain somehow and see how the neurological wiring responds to an initial cut, a hit or the after effects of anything that is typically associated with physical pain.

how hurt do you feel on a scale from 1-10? 7 see :D Title: Re: can emotios be measured in a numerical value?

But is there a way to measure it, as said in this thread, pain can be faked. Title: Re: can emotios be measured in a numerical value?

But is there a way to measure it, as said in this thread, pain can be faked. On the right track, but still missing something, as there are many forms of pain. For example, experiencing the passing of someone. Title: Re: can emotions be measured in a numerical value?

to measure pain, a pain measure device? I dont know if such device exists yet. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3045648/bin/nihms259049f1.jpg source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3045648/ given an image however, it would be easy to convert into a scale. Of course there would be a calibration step. Do you plan on making such device? Title: Re: can emotions be measured in a numerical value?

It kinda would be nice to have your name immortalized into a measure of units such as watts and joules to name a couple :D Title: Re: can emotions be measured in a numerical value?
