FROID Psique / Science

Transparency is part of the technology.

This page explains how the product's measures are framed. Literature on voice or facial movements does not, by itself, amount to validation of FROID or its indices.

Three layers of reading

  1. Measure: the value obtained or estimated by the system, with its capture conditions.
  2. Organization: rules that group measures, summarize deviations and confirm recurrence.
  3. Clinical interpretation: contextualization by the professional, which the result of the calculation does not replace.
A map can represent terrain without explaining everything that happens in it. Instrumental reading organizes information; it does not exhaust the person's experience.

What the product presents

IPM and IDM summarize vocal deviations. The seven facial families describe compatible configurations, not confirmed emotions. The AU mappings are approximate; they do not constitute certified FACS coding.

There is no validated correspondence between each acoustic band and a feeling, nor a validated relationship that would allow concluding a conflict between face and voice. The product declares this absence of assessment capability.

How to communicate progress without anticipating evidence

The engine update preserves distinct frames, laterality and ambiguities. These are changes in the consistency of the record. Gains in clinical precision need to be quantified in a specific evaluation, not deduced from the reorganization of the software.

The archive can contribute to investigating stability, differences between groups and relationships between measures. We do not claim that a volume of sessions or a three-year period ensures validation. The result depends on defined criteria and appropriate studies.
