[EMOXG] Introductions

As not everybody knows everybody in this group, I suggest we make a 
short round of introductions. The participants to the phone conference 
will also have the opportunity to present themselves briefly there; but 
some written lines may be more durable, in case anyone among us does not 
have a perfect memory... :-) So let me start, and feel free to follow!

Short self-description:

I am the initial chair of this group. In the emotion network HUMAINE, I 
have been responsible for the first specification of an Emotion 
Annotation and Representation Language. Now, I am eager to learn about 
other people's perspectives on this first suggestion, including critical 
discussions. If we want to get to a generally usable language, clearly 
there is a lot more brain power needed!
My own research has been concerned to a considerable extent with 
emotional speech synthesis. In my PhD, I have proposed an approach to 
realising gradual states described in terms of emotion dimensions 
(arousal, valence, power) rather than emotion categories. Recently I 
have become interested in emotions in interactive systems, and 
specifically in simulating listener backchannel and feedback behaviour.

Here. Now. Real, first-person experience. Am I there to witness it?
