Although advances have been made regarding how the brain perceives emotional prosody, the neural bases involved in the generation of affective prosody remain unclear and debated. Two models have been forged on the basis of clinical observations: a first model proposes that the right hemisphere sustains production and comprehension of emotional prosody, while a second model proposes that emotion...

introduction to extract and combine information from different modalities, fusion techniques are commonly applied to promote system performance. in this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of fusion techniques in emotion recognition. materials and methods electrocardiogram (ecg) and galvanic skin responses (gsr) of 11 healthy female students (mean age: 22.73±1.68 years) were collected ...

This paper discusses the transference process of emotional states driven by psychological energy in the active field state space and also builds a robot expression model based on the Hidden Marov Models(HMM). Facial expressions and behaviours are two important channels for human‐robot interaction. Robot performance based on a static emotional state cannot vividly display dyna...

The sharing of emotional material is central to the process of psychotherapy and emotional problems are a primary reason for seeking treatment. Surprisingly, very little systematic research has been done on patterns of emotional exchange during psychotherapy. It is likely that a major reason for this void in the research is the enormous cost of annotating sessions for affective content. In the ...

abstract reading is a cognitive activity involving skills, strategies, attentional resources, knowledge resources and their integration. the reader’s role is to decode the written symbols to allow for the recovery of information from long-term memory to construct a plausible interpretation of the writer’s message. various number of reading models have been proposed by researchers among which so...

The ability to remember emotional events is crucial for adapting to biologically and socially significant situations. Little is known, however, about the nature of the neural interactions supporting the integration of mnemonic and emotional information. Using fMRI and dynamic models of effective connectivity, we examined regional neural activity and specific interactions between brain regions d...

This study explored the importance of early and late emotional processing to change in depressive and general symptomology, self-esteem, and interpersonal problems for 34 clients who received 16-20 sessions of experiential treatment for depression. The independent contribution to outcome of the early working alliance was also explored. Early and late emotional processing predicted reductions in...

Nowadays, the experimental study of emotional learning is commonly based on classical conditioning paradigms and models, which have been thoroughly investigated in the last century. On the contrary, limited attention has been paid to the revaluation of an unconditioned stimulus (UCS), which, as experimentally observed by various researchers in the last four decades, occurs out of classical cond...
