The scientific dispute concerning the identification of different psychophysiological patterns associated with specific emotions is still far to be settled. In this preliminary work we present new empirical data to foster the understanding of this topic. We report results related to cardio-respiratory indexes during the experience of autobiografical recall of emotions, namely: fear, anger, happ...

Biologists have studied the expression of emotions in man and other animals since at least 1806, when Charles Bell published his Anatomy and Physiology of Expression.

One of the main challenges faced by the video game industry is to give life to believable Non-Player Characters (NPCs) .

In order to improve the believability of NPCs’ behavior, we propose in this article a model of the dynamics of emotions taking into account the personality and the social relations of the...

The clinical encounter arouses strong emotions of anxiety, fear, and anger in patients which are often projected onto the clinicians. Attempts to protect clinicians through various bureaucratic devices and depersonalization of the patient, constitute as Menzies...

This paper presents two approaches to ranking reader emotions of documents. Past studies assign a document to a single emotion category, so their methods cannot be applied directly to the emotion ranking problem. Furthermore, whereas previous research analyzes emotions from the writer’s perspective, this work examines readers’ emotional states. The first approach proposed in this paper minimize...
