It's Written All Over Your Face!

A new computer program can determine when you are struggling with math problems by scanning your facial expressions. Mood detecting software is still in the early stages and has not yet been linked to any useful applications. This software program in particular will adjust the difficulty of the math problems based on the students facial expressions making the problems either easier or more difficult. In a recent study the software guessed the test takers difficulty level  correctly 71% of the time. More information on this software will appear in the May issue of the journal Computers in Human Behavior. (Diep)
