The Emotion Journal also stores and color-codes logs over time, so a user can see at a glance what their recent emotions have been.
During Britain's recent election, emotion ran short.
It would be interesting in future work to examine alexithymia (impaired ability to reflect on and report own emotions) in this subgroup, given recent evidence that emotion processing and empathy deficits are a function of co-occurring alexithymia rather than characteristics of ASD itself.
More recent theories of emotion assume that phenomenal emotional experiences are a result of integration of information from different internal and external sources (e.g. Russell, 2003; Scherer, 2005).
At a basic level, people subconsciously mimic the expressions of a conversation partner and in the process "feel" a trace of the other's emotion, recent studies suggest.
In recent years, new emotion and feeling lexicons developed in different languages and cultures have led to interesting insights into food- and odor-elicited emotions.
The recent interest in emotion recognition research has seen applications in call centre analytics, human-machine and human-robot interfaces, multimedia retrieval, surveillance tasks, behavioural health informatics, and improved speech recognition.
Mencius's theory tallies with some of the more recent theories of emotion that point toward the intertwining of cognitive and affective dimensions (the theory does not necessarily imply, however, that the affective amounts to nothing more than the cognitive, as shall be discussed later).
According to most recent theories, human emotion is intrinsically tied to the concomitant activity of the autonomic nervous system.
This is broadly consistent with recent models of emotion processing that posit the presence of ventral and dorsal streams of affective processing (9) and merits further research.
