Messages, attires, gestures, themes or melodies that are liked by the public are some of the aspects that guarantee the success of a political party. Researchers are now helping to define such feelings thanks to Sentient, a "feelings detector". This device issues reports on the positive or negative perception of some people to the stimuli of their environment.
