This paper presents a procedural generation method that creates visually attractive levels for the Angry Birds game. Besides being an immensely popular mobile game, Angry Birds has recently become a test bed for various artificial intelligence technologies. We propose a new approach for procedurally generating Angry Birds levels using Chinese style and Japanese style building structures. A cond...

Abstract Research has shown that high trait anxiety can alter multisensory processing of threat cues (by amplifying integration angry faces and voices); however, it remains unknown whether differences in play a role the psychological response to trauma.

We hypothesized a dynamic interplay between the right insula, both involved in mapping visceral states associated with emotional experi...
