FROID Psique · Ethics and limits
Explicit limits help you choose and use a tool responsibly. This page gathers the conditions for interpreting FROID Psique.
FROID does not determine lying, intent, masking or subconscious conflict from facial movements. Nor does it classify smiles as genuine or fake. Facial-vocal dissonance remains without measurement capability.
The seven families describe compatible movement configurations. Confirmation of a variant means repetition across distinct frames, not emotional confirmation.
Facial capture nominally operates at three frames per second. It does not offer certified microexpression detection, validated apex identification or FACS A–E classification.
There is no individual neutral facial baseline or validated compensation for pose, lighting, occlusion and speech movements. The thresholds are engineering parameters, not universal clinical limits. Requiring recurrence may fail to record very brief manifestations.
The professional conducts the session, reviews transcripts and AI-assisted responses, and decides how to integrate the record into the assessment. The patient's authorizations and the terms of the professional's contract govern the applicable uses; the informational text on the site does not replace those documents.
FROID does not replace diagnosis, judgment or professional conduct. The absence of a record does not prove the absence of risk. It is not an emergency service or an automated crisis-monitoring system.
IPM and IDM describe vocal deviations, not feelings or therapeutic efficacy. Research on the indices is not closed by growth of the dataset.
