Here is my saved feature file of the edited short film: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZXqkscDIkH5dPUC1_-nuazN9Ttx_nxzR/view?usp=sharing I apologize for it being so late. I also made a document with notes/specific moments in the film related to ToM- feel free to take a look: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17yOat8Fl9qGM0fTaLII6ep9XlAc5zdkKoNONu5f4GYE/edit?usp=sharing
I hope this data/set of annotations can be of some help with your research: this project is fascinating, and I’m interested to see how you can use Theory of Mind and the annotations in films to match with patterns in fMRI scans- to eventually predict people’s behavior and diagnose certain illnesses or mental disorders.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to add to this project: I was able to learn a lot about Theory of Mind! :)
@sheilajmenon thanks so much! This is a big help. If you'd like to do another movie, I've updated the above directions to include a link to a second movie at the end along with new upload instructions for everyone.
For anyone else interested in helping, we will need multiple annotations of these same features from different people, so please follow the same steps above - thanks!
Hi! I've completed my annotations for the feature and submitted it, here's a link to my notes on the movie clip as well as some resources from Youtube to learn a little bit about ToM: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OCAHSarXU3GyN2W4lV3LHV8VMtuyLBb-CdV3YKFYBU8/edit?usp=sharing I'll include the links to the resources below here too: Explaining Theory of Mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xov5mF1NauU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1oJA7dRi_k Theory of Mind Tests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGSj2zY2OEM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41jSdOQQpv0 I'll start working on annotating the second feature and update the document linked above with notes from the second movie clip. I've really enjoyed learning about ToM and am excited to continue working on this project!
@c-gabrieli excellent, thank you! I received the file and will keep an eye out for the next one. Stay tuned for more
@sheilajmenon, @c-gabrieli, Haleh, +anyone else interested in helping (@dinapaul?)
Upon further reading and looking at the ToM features we have, I think we should shift to annotating Social, Pain, and Mental features. I've updated the instructions above to explain how to get these features. It would be a great help if we could get a few different versions of these features from different people for The Present and Despicable Me.
Hi, I have submitted my files for both movies. It was indeed fun to learn about ToM, understand more through the papers and links provided, and try to make clean categorization of different features to the best of my understanding and perception!
Just a couple of comments for the team/people helping: 1) The second movie when downloaded (as well as uploaded to the feature explorer) seems not to have its audio anymore. When directly played via the link, it did have the audio albeit slightly delayed. I ended up playing it using the direct link, recording the timestamps separately for each ToM feature, and then trying to match it on the feature explorer to generate the .tsv files. 2) The feature explorer hangs when you try to record the feature till the last time point (i.e. dragging your clicks on the 'Fine Timeline' box until the very end) and you won't be able to interact with the feature explorer anymore. I tried to label as close to the end as possible, but my last few time points might be missing data.
I look forward to continuing to learn about this and contributing more! Thank you so much :)
@sooyounga Great! thank you and thanks for the feedback as well
edit: i fixed that bug now, but for people to use the fixed version, you will likely need to clear the cache/history of your browser for the feature visualizer page
Hi! I have extracted my four features separately (Mental, Pain, Social, Control) for each movie.
Trying to extract ToM features with Feature Visualizer was an amazing experience. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for all your efforts. We are going to close this issue and restart as relevant.
Background
As part of our research, we are interested in how we can use movies to learn more about the brain. One aspect of this is accurately labeling 'features' (like emotions, objects, sounds, etc) from movie clips that people have watched while their brains are scanned (e.g., fMRI). This is where we could use some help!
As a first step it would be really helpful to get annotations related to Theory of Mind from 2 short movie clips. What is Theory of Mind (ToM)? In short, you can think of it as one's ability to understand other people by attributing mental states (beliefs, desires, emotions) to them. ToM is very important for social interactions as it provides the ability to predict and interpret other people's behavior. For more background, search for 'Theory of Mind' on YouTube.
The features we want to get:
To identify regions of the brain related to ToM from fMRI movie data, we will need to label some features as seen in this paper. These include 4 conditions:
How to Help!
Choose File
and select your locally saved movie file.Add new empty feature
. This adds a new feature with zeros for all time points for the length of the movie.play
or the spacebarEditing
button or 'e' on your keyboard.Once you have done this first movie, you can also give this one a shot.
Thank you for your interest and help!!!
Post any questions/comments on this issue and I will be happy to help.
