Mental Manipulation

Mental manipulation research explores how language, music, and even robotic interactions can be designed to influence a person's emotional state or cognitive processes. Current research focuses on developing methods to detect and analyze manipulative techniques in conversations, using advanced prompting techniques and machine learning models to identify subtle cues. This field is significant for its potential applications in mitigating harmful manipulation, improving human-computer interaction, and advancing our understanding of the psychological impact of various forms of communication. Furthermore, ethical considerations surrounding the potential misuse of these technologies for manipulation are increasingly important.
