Baby FaceReader
Since infants can't tell you how they feel, examining their facial expressions helps you gain more insights into their emotional development.
Study infant emotions
Baby FaceReader is a tool for automated facial expression analysis for infants between 6 and 24 months old. It's based on the Baby Facial Action Coding System (Baby FACS).
Use Baby FaceReader to study responses to sensory stimuli, parent-child interactions, cognitive information processing, expressive behaviors in different situations, and more.
