GenAI EmoJellyfish: Investigating the Synergistic Effects of Multi-modal Interaction on Emotion Regulation
AI-Powered Emotional Regulation: A Deep Dive into Multimodal Synergy
This research introduces EmoJellyfish, a multimodal interactive system using generative AI voice to enhance emotion regulation. It investigates how different sensory combinations (visual-audio, visual-tactile, visual-audio-tactile) impact emotional valence and arousal, aiming to optimize design for psychological support tools without increasing cognitive burden. The study finds EmoJellyfish effective in improving emotional states, with VA combination enhancing pleasure, VT eliciting surprise, and VAT potentially causing overload. Key insights include the dual role of GenAI voice as an emotional companion and a potential cognitive distractor.

The research builds on the 'Blue Mind' concept, suggesting that environments resembling natural water bodies can promote calm and well-being. EmoJellyfish aims to create a private, soothing interactive device that leverages multimodal stimuli to achieve similar emotional relief. The GenAI voice acts as an 'emotional companion' rather than just an information carrier.
Blue Mind
Concept: Promotes calm and well-being through water-like environments.
EmoJellyfish integrates visual, auditory, and tactile modalities. The study explores the synergistic effects of different combinations: Visual-Audio (VA), Visual-Tactile (VT), and Visual-Audio-Tactile (VAT). While multimodal interaction can enhance richness, excessive input may lead to cognitive overload, highlighting the challenge of designing appropriate 'modality puzzles' for optimal relief.
| Combination | Observed Effect | Cognitive Load |
|---|---|---|
| Visual-Audio (VA) |
|
Low complexity, effective. |
| Visual-Tactile (VT) |
|
Distinct sensory stimulus. |
| Visual-Audio-Tactile (VAT) |
|
High complexity, problematic initially. |

Emotional Regulation Achieved
GenAI voice in EmoJellyfish serves as a core auditory component, narrating guided stories with a personified tone. The research investigates how this voice can be emotionally soothing without increasing cognitive burden. Key findings highlight the importance of naturalness and real-time adaptivity of the GenAI voice to user feedback to avoid an 'uncanny valley effect' and cognitive interference, transforming it from a broadcaster to a dialogue partner.
Uncanny Valley
Risk: Slight deviations in GenAI voice rhythm can cause an 'uncanny valley effect'.
Optimizing GenAI Voice for Emotional Support
Users appreciate GenAI voice for its social presence and companionship, enhancing immersion. However, the voice needs to be adaptive, adjusting its tone and content in real-time based on user feedback to prevent cognitive interference and ensure it acts as a true dialogue partner, not just a broadcaster. This avoids information overload and enhances user control and engagement, moving beyond traditional non-linguistic sounds for emotional relief.
