The dataset, growing in real time.
Anonymized aggregate readings from MindLens Lab — a research project studying how people read emotion in short social moments. Each new participant joins the totals below; new constellations appear once a clip clears 5 responses.

About the methodology
Each reading captures two axes (emotion + cues) and is measured for plurality with Shannon entropy and Krippendorff's α. The full taxonomy, metrics, and pre-registered hypotheses live on the research pages.
