ABSTRACT:
Thermal image data of at least a region of a face of a person is provided. The thermal image data is used to determine a physiological state of a person, e.g., anxiety. For example, anxiety may be determined by a comparison of the thermal image data to a baseline, or by comparison of thermal image data for one region of the person's face to another.
