Researchers at the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience at HSE University are using automatic emotion recognition technologies to study charitable behaviour. In an experiment, scientists presented 45 participants with photographs of dogs in need and invited them to make donations to support these animals. Emotional reactions to the images were determined through facial activity using the FaceReader program. It turned out that the stronger the participants felt sadness and anger, the more money they were willing to donate to charity funds, regardless of their personal financial well-being. The study was published in the journal Heliyon.

On July 13-14, 2024, the annual large-scale VKontakte festival took place at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium. HSE University, as usual, participated in the event. The university's tent featured a variety of activities, including emotion recognition challenge, quizzes about artificial intelligence, IT career testing, a smile detector, VR gaming, and a blue tractor equipped with a smart sprinkler system.

13 и 14 июля в «Лужниках» состоялся ежегодный масштабный фестиваль от «ВКонтакте», в котором уже по традиции приняла участие и Высшая школа экономики. Гостей университетского шатра ожидали эксперимент по распознаванию эмоций, викторина, посвященная искусственному интеллекту, тест на подходящую IT-профессию, детектор улыбок, VR-игра, а также синий трактор с оросителем полезных культур.
