Experimental elicitation of positive and negative emotions in 1157 cases yielded a comprehensive dataset of continuous self-reported affect and 8 concurrent biosignals.

The POPANE database provides a large-scale, publicly available resource for studying the psychophysiological correlates of positive and negative emotions, overcoming previous limitations of small sample sizes.
Subjective experience and physiological activity are fundamental components of emotion. There is an increasing interest in the link between experiential and physiological processes across different disciplines, e.g., psychology, economics, or computer science. However, the findings largely rely on sample sizes that have been modest at best (limiting the statistical power) and capture only some concurrent biosignals. We present a novel publicly available dataset of psychophysiological responses to positive and negative emotions that offers some improvement over other databases. This database involves recordings of 1157 cases from healthy individuals (895 individuals participated in a single session and 122 individuals in several sessions), collected across seven studies, a continuous record of self-reported affect along with several biosignals (electrocardiogram, impedance cardiogram, electrodermal activity, hemodynamic measures, e.g., blood pressure, respiration trace, and skin temperature). We experimentally elicited a wide range of positive and negative emotions, including amusement, anger, disgust, excitement, fear, gratitude, sadness, tenderness, and threat. Psychophysiology of positive and negative emotions (POPANE) database is a large and comprehensive psychophysiological dataset on elicited emotions.
Behnke et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Healthy individuals (n=1,157). Experimental elicitation of positive and negative emotions was evaluated on Continuous record of self-reported affect and biosignals. Experimental elicitation of positive and negative emotions in 1157 cases yielded a comprehensive dataset of continuous self-reported affect and 8 concurrent biosignals.
