# EmoDB

The EmoDB is the freely available German emotional database, containing a total of 535 utterances.
It comprises of seven emotions: 1) anger; 2) boredom; 3) anxiety; 4) happiness; 5) sadness; 6) disgust; and 7) neutral.
The data was recorded at a 48-kHz sampling rate and then down-sampled to 16-kHz.
We follow the unofficial speaker-independent train/test split from [here](https://github.com/audeering/emodb/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
