This relationship results in a set of data exchanges between human and technological actors. The real-time biofeedback devices allow to collect in real time the biodata generated by the user during the exhibition. The analysis, processing and conversion of these biodata into multimodal data allows to relate the stimuli with the emotions they trigger. This work describes an adaptive model for biofeedback data flows management used in the design of interactive immersive systems. The use of an affective algorithm allows to identify the types of emotions felt by the user and the respective intensities. The mapping between stimuli and emotions creates a set of biodata that can be used as elements of interaction that will readjust the stimuli generated by the system. The real-time interaction generated by the evolution of the user\u2019s emotional state and the stimuli generated by the system allows him to adapt attitudes and behaviors to the situations he faces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app11115067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,31]],"date-time":"2021-05-31T00:22:15Z","timestamp":1622420535000},"page":"5067","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Adaptive Model for Biofeedback Data Flows Management in the Design of Interactive Immersive Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3975-2395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo Veloso","family":"Gomes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LabRP-CIR, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Laboratory, Center for Rehabilitation Research, School of Health, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8656-5023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LabRP-CIR, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Laboratory, Center for Rehabilitation Research, School of Health, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8701-2113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Donga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LabRP-CIR, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Laboratory, School of Media Arts and Design, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4480-876 Vila do Conde, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Catarina","family":"S\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LabRP-CIR, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Laboratory, Center for Rehabilitation Research, School of Health, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7058-3868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LabRP-CIR, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Laboratory, Center for Rehabilitation Research, School of Health, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9328-0723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITIC, Research Center of Information and Communication Technologies, Talionis Research Group, Universidade da Coru\u00f1a, 15071 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"365","article-title":"Import\u00e2ncia das emo\u00e7\u00f5es na aprendizagem: Uma abordagem neuropsicopedag\u00f3gica","volume":"102","year":"2016","journal-title":"Rev.
