Abstract: The passage of electric signals throughout the human body produces an electromagnetic
field, known as the human biofield, which carries information about a person’s psychological health.
The human biofield can be rehabilitated by using healing techniques such as sound therapy and many
others in a smart grid. However, psychiatrists and psychologists often face difficulties in clarifying
the mental state of a patient in a quantifiable form. Therefore, the objective of this research work was
to transform human emotions using sound healing therapy and produce visible results, confirming
the transformation. The present research was based on the amalgamation of image processing and
machine learning techniques, including a real-time aura-visualization interpretation and an emotion-
detection classifier. The experimental results highlight the effectiveness of healing emotions through
the aforementioned techniques. The accuracy of the proposed method, specifically, the module
combining both emotion and aura, was determined to be ~88%. Additionally, the participants’
feedbacks were recorded and analyzed based on the prediction capability of the proposed module
and their overall satisfaction. The participants were strongly satisfied with the prediction capability
(~81%) of the proposed module and future recommendations (~84%). The results indicate the
positive impact of sound therapy on emotions and the biofield. In the future, experimentation using
different therapies and integrating more advanced techniques are anticipated to open new gateways
in healthcare.

1. Introduction
The human body functions based on the transmission of various signals both inside
and outside the body. Electrical signals such as those recorded in Electroencephalogram
(EEG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and others that are easy to measure indicate the health
condition of a human [1–3]. The human biofield is an electromagnetic energy field produced
by these signals inside the human body, which is highly complex in nature and, thus,
difficult to decode. Numerous studies have reported that interpreting the information
carried by this biofield could bring a remarkable revolution in the field of healthcare. The
biofield contains significant information related to both the physical health and the mental
condition of an individual. Previous works have shown that by analyzing the human
