Join Hume AI CEO Dr. Alan Cowen, thymia CEO Dr. Emilia Molimpakis, and host Matt Forte as they discuss “The Future of Mental Health Assessment." Today, a clinical diagnosis is largely the result of a conversation, nonverbal signals, and a doctor's intuition. Can technology help us improve, but not replace, this crucial element of subjectivity? We discuss how machine learning tools to understand vocal and nonverbal communication can revolutionize mental health assessment, helping us more reliably measure symptoms of pain, major depression, cognitive impairment, and other disorders, and paving the way for more targeted and holistic treatments.

Join Dr. Alan Cowen, CEO of Hume, and Kathy Tafel, Senior Director of Engineering at Artsy, as they discuss "Aesthetic Appreciation & Fine Art." What is aesthetic appreciation, and how does visual art evoke emotion? How close is AI to understanding our aesthetic feelings? Will AI bring art curation to the masses? Will AI ever be able to generate paintings on par with those of Rembrandt, Monet, and Frida Kahlo? Why is it that uniqueness and ownership imbue art with a special aura, and can NFTs really bring that aura to digital art? We debate how technology can bring more aesthetic appreciation into our digitally connected world.

This week on The Feelings Lab, we're discussing embarrassment! Returning hosts Dr. Alan Cowen, Dr. Dacher Keltner, and Matt Forte will be joined by guest host Dr. Jessica Tracy (Director of the Emotion and Self Lab at the University of British Columbia) and special guest, comedian Ali Kolbert (as seen on The Tonight Show). In this episode, we learn about the surprisingly vital role of embarrassment in our social lives. It's a signal of appeasement that defuses tension, makes us more likable, and helps build our relationships. AND, our dogs may not really feel shame when they break out that “sulky” look that owners know too well - they might just see that it appeases their favorite humans, and keeps the treats coming!
