New Python toolbox automates analysis of nonverbal human communication

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The NICE Toolbox is a new open-source Python framework designed to automate the measurement and annotation of nonverbal human communication signals. Developed by Aleksandr Evgrashin and collaborators, this tool combines existing computer vision and speech-processing methods to analyze posture, gesture, gaze, facial expression, and speech. It aims to make the exploration of interpersonal communication signals more scalable, reproducible, and accessible for psychological research by supporting multi-camera systems, interchangeable algorithms, and data export to third-party software.
