I have a question about "Mechanical Sensors for Emotional St...

There's a lot of research these days in the wearables space that attempts to estimate emotional states using movement, pressure, and muscle tension patterns. For example, there are attempts to predict stress levels based on walking speed or subtle shaking patterns, or to detect tension and anxiety based on changes in hand pressure.However, I'm curious to know how accurately these methods can actually detect emotions, and whether it's possible to isolate emotional patterns using mechanical sensors alone.Accelerometers and pressure sensors aren't directly linked to emotions, so it's ultimately a matter of pattern matching or machine learning-based inference...Do experts believe this method of interpreting emotional states is practical?Or is it still just an "auxiliary indicator"?If anyone knows of any related research or practical applications (e.g., stress monitoring, emotion-based human-computer interaction), please explain.I'm not sure how far this technology can go.
