Multimodal Behavior Processing > Teaching

We offer courses for undergraduate and graduate students of the Technical Facutly in the area of multimodal behavior processing. Our seminars are research-oriented, combine practical exercises with theoretical input and give insight in current debates in the field. Starting in SoSe22, we will also offer a lecture for the module 39-M-Inf-MBP. Furthermore, we supervise individual projects or master theses. If you are interested in doing a project, an internship or writing your thesis, just contact us directly.

Theses

The following theses are currently available within our group:

• Bachelor Thesis: Investigating the dynamics of human online interactions
• Master Thesis: Facial Expression Analysis in Stress Test Video Data collected in an Experimental Study
• Master Thesis: Analyzing Differences in Social Signals of Understanding during Stressful and Neutral Situations
• Master Thesis: You look stressed so I look stressed? Analysis of Facial Mimicry during a social stress test (TSST)
• Master Thesis: Development of algorithms to support the diagnosis of social anxiety disorder in children
