EmoSurv: A typing biometric (Keystroke dynamics) dataset with emotion labels created using computer keyboards

EmoSurv is a dataset containing keystroke data along with emotion labels. Timing and frequency data is recorded while participants are typing free and fixed texts before and after being induced specific emotions. These emotions are: Anger, Happiness, Calmness, Sadness, and Neutral state.First, data is collected while the participant is in a neutral state. Then, the participant watches an eliciting video. Once the emotion is induced in the participant, he types another fixed and free text.EmoSurv dataset is collected after developing a dynamic web application, also named EmoSurv application, and sharing it via e-mail, Facebook, and word of mouth.We named it EmoSurv as our objective is to investigate on Human’s emotional states while typing on a keyboard. While collecting data, we made sure that only trials using physical keyboards are accepted. A total of 124 participants visited EmoSurv and logged information.Kindly cite our paper when you wish to use this dataset: Maalej and I. Kallel, "Does Keystroke Dynamics tell us about Emotions?
