The most popular affect model, the Circumplex model of arousal-valence, is commonly used for generation of emotion-laden media (e.g., Kismet robot [19]).
This work explores a perspective on robotic behavior control based on mechanisms that are traditionally implicated in generation of emotions and temperament in humans.
In the present study, a network of emotion-sensitive areas comprised STS, PFC, and GPi, all in the right hemisphere, in keeping with the view that the right hemisphere is more involved in the processing and generation of emotions and affect than the left [24], [25].
The show's influence can be seen in the current generation of woke, emotion-driven cartoons like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Bojack Horseman.
The hippocampus may also influence the generation of attention and emotion through connections with the amygdala [28], and moderate cortical arousal and responsiveness through interconnections with the amygdala, hypothalamus, prefrontal cortex, and other areas [28].
Evidence from adults and adolescents indicate that prefrontal cortex regions involved in cognitive control processes are functionally linked to emotion centers of the brain (i.e., the amygdala; Monk, 2008; Siegle et al., 2007) such that prefrontal control regions down-regulate activation of emotion generation regions (Hare et al., 2008; Ochsner and Gross, 2005).
Among the different neurotransmitter systems present in this nucleus, AT1 receptors have been also found, but their role in the generation and modulation of emotions is not fully understood.
Mr. Varone, 46, has emerged in the last decade as one of the few modern-dance choreographers of his generation still able to convey depth of emotion through movement.
The proposed framework can be a cornerstone for the design of emotion interaction and generation systems for robots.
These differences may carry functional implications for the generation of desire and dread emotions, despite their outward similarities in motivated behavior of eating versus defensive treading, distress calls, etc.
