Built for high performers in all disciplines.
Different settings require different review questions. None turns an expression score into proof of feelings, health, or suitability.
Mental Edge surfaces time-coded facial-expression and movement signals from recorded video for contextual human review. A coach can revisit a moment with the participant rather than assigning a feeling from a score.
These observations do not establish confidence, resilience, intent, or athlete suitability. Keep any discussion separate from selection or ranking, and preserve the person's account of the recorded context.
Recorded facial movement does not establish deception, threat, or intent. Mental Edge is not for surveillance, threat assessment, or deception detection.
Do not turn an expression score into an operational decision about a person. Read the security page as a boundary statement, not permission to infer truthfulness or suitability from footage.
Mental Edge provides recorded-video expression signals for contextual human review, not proof of engagement or intent. A discussion of a recorded interaction must preserve uncertainty and participant context.
Do not use these outputs for hiring, promotion, or employment decisions. Review legal scope before proposing workplace use; a voluntary recording does not by itself settle that question.
A time-coded expression signal is an observation from recorded video, not a measure of understanding, engagement, or wellbeing. It cannot establish a student's ability or suitability.
Mental Edge is not for student scoring. Review institutional purpose, consent, and applicable legal restrictions before considering any recorded-class use.
Mental Edge surfaces recorded facial-expression and movement signals for contextual human review. Those signals do not establish symptoms, pain, health, or another person's feelings.
Mental Edge is not for diagnosis. Any discussion of recorded interaction must remain separate from clinical findings and preserve the qualified reviewer's judgment.
How It Works
Keep each time-coded movement signal beside the recording and separate observation from interpretation.
Capture
Begin with recorded video collected for a clearly documented, consented purpose.
Analyze
Mental Edge scores observable facial expressions frame by frame using seven expression categories.
Review
Revisit time-coded signals with the source footage and the surrounding context.
Discuss
Ask open questions without treating a pattern as proof of feelings or intent.
Start with the boundary in each setting
In athletics, a consented recording may provide a moment for a coaching discussion. It must not become an assessment of confidence, resilience, intent, or athlete suitability. In healthcare, the boundary is non-diagnostic review, not a finding about symptoms, pain, or health. Qualified human judgment cannot be replaced by an expression category.
In business, reviewing a communication recording must remain separate from hiring, promotion, or employment decisions. In education, a visible movement cannot establish understanding, engagement, wellbeing, or ability. Do not score or rank students with these outputs. The usage links describe boundaries, not permission for every organizational setting.
In security contexts, facial movement does not establish deception, threat, or intent. Mental Edge is not for surveillance, threat assessment, or deception detection. The security page should be read as a statement of limits, not an operational decision tool. A recorded signal must not become a reason to act against someone.
Review context and legal scope before proceeding
Mental Edge associates frame-by-frame scores with seven expression categories and preserves time-coded signals for human review. Barrett and colleagues describe substantial variation in what facial configurations may mean. Revisit the surrounding footage and ask an open question rather than supplying a private-state conclusion.
EU AI Act Article 5(1)(f) prohibits workplace and educational emotion-inference AI, with medical or safety exceptions. These prohibitions apply from February 2, 2025. A usage page or consent process does not by itself establish legal permission. Talk to counsel about your use case. This is not legal advice.
