Device and Method for Creation of Emotions

A catalog of recorded emotions by brainwave state, and their related facial expressions, potentially indicating a work on a digital map of emotions (in the form of an ai model). This could later be used to figure out which of a wide array of variables can later be adjusted or controlled to induce the specific emotions. It could also be used to assess people out of reach by using cameras watching facial expression.
