Applications of DNNs for advancing naturalistic affective research. A. DNNs provide a more scalable way to quantify behavior of study participants and stimulus targets in naturalistic contexts. B. DNN-based quantifications can support better experimentation by facilitating naturalistic stimulus selection and manipulation. C. DNNs are capable of capturing interactive and nonlinear effects, ideal for modeling cognitive/neural mechanisms underlying the subjective experience, physiological responses, and the recognition and expressions of emotions
