1. An apparatus for determining a response to a stimulus, the apparatus comprising:
- a stimulus input that receives a stimulus signal representing the stimulus;
a response input that receives at least one response signal, each response signal being indicative of a response to the stimulus; and
a correlator coupled with the stimulus input and the response input, the correlator correlating the received stimulus with each received response signal as a function of time to produce an associative mapping.

Abstract
A system for capturing a video image of the scene and for correlating data relative to the scene is disclosed. The system comprises a collection device which uses as inputs environmental stimuli and video and audio stimuli which correlates the various data such that statistical analysis can be performed.

24. A computer program product for use on a computer system for determining the reason that an audience generates a response to a stimulus, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code thereon, the computer readable program code including:
-
program code for recording the response from the audience to the stimulus;
program code for performing a statistical analysis of the response to determine at least one notable reaction;
program code for replaying the at least one notable reaction to the audience;
program code for querying the audience as to why the at least one notable reaction was received; and
program code for recording a second response to why the at least one notable reaction was received.

25. A method of determining an audience'"'"'s response to a stimulus, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in real time, at least one response to the stimulus;
correlating, by time, the at least one response and the stimulus to generate an associative mapping of the at least one response; and
storing the associative mapping such that the associative mapping is accessible by content of the at least one response. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A computer program product for use on a computer system for determining an audience'"'"'s response to a stimulus, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code thereon, the computer readable program code including:
-
program code for receiving, in real time, at least one response to the stimulus;
program code for correlating, by time, the at least one response and the stimulus to generate an associative mapping of the at least one response; and
program code for storing the associative mapping such that the associative mapping is accessible by content of the at least one response. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)

35. An apparatus for determining an audience'"'"'s response to a stimulus, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input for receiving, in real time, at least one response to the stimulus;
a correlator for correlating, by time, the at least one response and the stimulus to generate an associative mapping of the at least one response; and
a storage module operatively coupled with the correlator, the storage module storing the associative mapping such that the associative mapping is accessible by content of the at least one response. - View Dependent Claims (36)

37. An apparatus for processing a response to a stimulus for display in real time, the apparatus comprising:
-
a response input that receives at least one response signal, each response signal corresponding in time to the stimulus;
a processor operatively coupled with the response input, the processor associating the at least one response signal with at least one portion of the stimulus over time to produce an associative mapping representative of the at least one response to the at least one portion of the stimulus; and
an output operatively coupled with the processor, the output forwarding a display signal having data representing the associative mapping. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39)

-
receiving at least one response signal, each response signal corresponding in time to the stimulus;
associating the at least one response signal with at least one portion of the stimulus over time to produce an associative mapping representative of the at least one response to the at least one portion of the stimulus; and
generating a display signal having data representing the associative mapping. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42)

46. A computer program product for use on a computer system for allowing a user to interactively search an audience'"'"'s response to one or more stimuli, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code thereon, the computer readable program code including:
-
program code for providing a stimulus to the audience;
program code for recording one or more responses to the stimulus in real-time;
program code for correlating by time the one or more responses to the one or more stimuli to generate an associative mapping of the one or more responses and the stimuli;
program code for storing the associative mapping such that the associative mapping is accessible by content of the one or more responses and the one or more stimuli;
program code for prompting the user for search criteria representative of content of the one or more responses; and
program code for displaying the user the one or more responses and the one or more stimuli meeting the search criteria. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48)
