Emotion Mining enables scientists to measure the emotions of subjects before, during, and after research protocols in a reliable, sensitive, and convenient manner. Furthermore, Emotion Minings easy to use online data collection methodology leads to deep insights into the problems facing respondents and their solutions. :Emotion Minings unique measurement of emotion is clarified emotion emotion from which normal research biases, including subject state and trait biases, are removed. Using "clarified" emotion, researchers can gain insight into what research subjects really feel beneath and beyond what they self-report. More specifically, Emotion Mining engages respondents in a game-like exercise that enables them to express their deep-seated idiosyncratic responses and emotions. Built-in consideration of all possible emotion words produces "whole" emotional profiles in Emotion Mining analyses. Emotion Mining is applicable to social, cognitive, and behavioral research challenges and goals. Because it can distinguish conscious, subconscious, and even unconscious emotional responses to an unlimited range of topics, it is particularly applicable to the following areas: Social Psychology Personality Psychology Cognition and Social Cognition Cognitive Neuroscience Behavioral Neuroscience Political Psychology Their online methodology provides an engaging, controlled environment where subjects feel free to express themselves. Emotion Mining collects vital emotional responses in a way that no other methodology can. Emotion Mining also allows: :- Identification of unappreciated but recognizable emotional responses :- Prioritization of most unique, least biased emotional responses :- Aggregation through structured emotion analysis :- Collection of rich emotional verbatim :- Keyword analysis of verbatim You can experience and determine the face validity of Emotion Mining for yourself by registering to use Emotion Mining for personal decision making. You may also wish to have your research group involved in a group test of this face validity. In setting up a collaborative or independent relationship with scientists at Emotion Mining Company, you will gain access to the following tools used for data collection, analysis, and reporting. High-speed Internet access is all that is required for this easy-to-use addition to your laboratory.

Neuroscience was implemented as a new interdisciplinary major in 1999, replacing the Psychobiology Program and providing a base of experiences in biology, chemistry and psychology. Our students benefit from being able to work in small classes and to experience investigative lab experiences even in their introductory courses. Wellesley's neuroscience majors graduate with a liberal arts background coupled with sufficient concentration in this specialized field to be competitive among students coming from exclusively research-oriented institutions. The best proofs of the success of this approach are its products: * 60% of our graduates proceed to medical school; * 15% of our graduates continue on with graduate work in neuroscience, psychology, or neuropsychology; * 10% of our graduates pursue careers that intersect with neuroscience - for example, patent law or work in the biotech industry. Neuroscience is the study of the structure and function of neurons and how they are assembled to produce behaviors. This topic uses a multidisciplinary approach that extends from the molecular, through the cellular, and to the behavioral level.

Freely available corpus of manually annotated brain region mentions created to facilitate text mining of neuroscience literature. The corpus contains 1,377 abstracts with 18,242 brain region annotations. Interannotator agreement was evaluated for a subset of the documents, and was 90.7% and 96.7% for strict and lenient matching respectively. We observed a large vocabulary of over 6,000 unique brain region terms and 17,000 words. For automatic extraction of brain region mentions we evaluated simple dictionary methods and complex natural language processing techniques. The dictionary methods based on neuroanatomical lexicons recalled 36% of the mentions with 57% precision. The best performance was achieved using a conditional random field (CRF) with a rich feature set. Features were based on morphological, lexical, syntactic and contextual information. The CRF recalled 76% of mentions at 81% precision, by counting partial matches recall and precision increase to 86% and 92% respectively. We suspect a large amount of error is due to coordinating conjunctions, previously unseen words and brain regions of less commonly studied organisms. We found context windows, lemmatization and abbreviation expansion to be the most informative techniques. We encourage you to test new methods and applications of the dataset. Please contact us if you do, we would like to hear about and link to your work. The abstracts are from PubMed/Medline, specifically The Journal of Comparative Neurology.
