Free Webinar: Measuring Emotions Through Facial Analysis

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. - Sept. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Due to overwhelming demand, Research Rockstar has announced a second date for its free webinar, “Measuring Emotions through Facial Analysis.” For market research professionals seeking to learn new methods for measuring emotions, this webinar will deliver fast, objective details. Kathryn Korostoff, a leading market research professional with over 25 years of experience, will host the event. In this 60-minute webinar, including 15 minutes for Q&A, Korostoff will share 5 lessons learned in her recent experiences using facial analysis software for market research purposes.

“This webinar is designed for professionals looking to harness the power of new technologies and go beyond surveys and focus groups,” commented Kathryn Korostoff, President and Founder of Research Rockstar.

One of the big struggles for market researchers is in identifying and measuring emotional reactions. This could be a reaction to an advertisement, video, or even just the mention of a brand name.

“Humans are notoriously bad at being able to self-report their emotions, and this makes survey research a weak choice for studies that really need to get at emotions.” Korostoff continues, “Facial analysis removes the "self-reporting" aspect by directly observing emotional responses to stimuli.”

But does it work? Does it work only for advertising testing? What are the real-world risks and how can a market researcher mitigate them? For these answers and more, register for the webinar (http://Research%20Rockstar%20Adds%20New%20Date;%20First%2...), to be held September 25, 2013 at 11:00am – Noon (eastern).
