Emotion and Phylogeny.

Emotion and Emotion Science

For a long time most philosophers and some psychologists sought to understand emotions in terms of the thoughts they characteristically involve. Recent achievements in neuroscience and experimental psychology have encouraged radical change: it has become easier to see emotions as essentially visceral experiences that are sometimes flanked by thoughts at one remove but are sometimes quite unmedi...

Ethnobotanical Applications and Their Correspondence with Phylogeny in Apiaceae-Apioideae

The Apiaceae family includes some of the most known medicinal, food and spice species in the world some of which have been used by humans since antiquity. Local people in different regions use many species of the family but the information regarding their uses is scattered. Traditionally used species are good candidates for bioprospecting. Combining traditional uses with phylogenetic data helps...

Emotion verification for emotion detection and unknown emotion rejection

This paper focuses on detection of a single emotion and verification of a specific emotion type in a test utterance. To utilize a probabilistic output of a classifier as well as to exploit various long term acoustic features, we built a probabilistic output SVM and applied several approximated log likelihood ratio tests for emotion verification. Experimental results on SUSAS and AIBO emotion da...

GANEing on emotion and emotion regulation.

The function of emotion and its underlying neural mechanisms are often left underspecified. I extend the GANE (glutamate amplifies noradrenergic effects) model by examining its success in accounting for findings in emotion regulation. I also identify points of alignment with construction models of emotion and with the hypothesis that emotion states function to push neural activity toward rapid ...
