ArXi:2604.03050v1 Announce Type: cross While affective computing has advanced considerably, multimodal emotion prediction in aging populations remains underexplored, largely due to the scarcity of dedicated datasets. Existing multimodal benchmarks predominantly target young, cognitively healthy subjects, neglecting the influence of cognitive decline on emotional expression and physiological responses. To bridge this gap, we present MECO, a Multimodal dataset for Emotion and Cognitive understanding in Older adults.
