Emotions in Humans and Artifacts (Hardcover)

Description:

Emotions have been much studied and discussed in recent years. Most books, however, treat only one aspect of emotions, such as emotions and the brain, emotions and well-being, or emotions and computer agents. This interdisciplinary book presents recent work on emotions in neuroscience, cognitive science, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence, and software and game development. The book discusses the components of human emotion and how they might be incorporated into machines, whether artificial agents should convey emotional responses to human users and how such responses could be made believable, and whether agents should accept and interpret the emotions of users without displaying emotions of their own. It also covers the evolution and brain architecture of emotions, offers vocabularies and classifications for defining emotions, and examines emotions in relation to machines, games, virtual worlds, and music.

Paolo Petta is Head of the Intelligent Software Agents and New Media Research Group at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.

描述：
近年來，情緒一直是研究和討論的焦點。然而，大多數書籍只涉及情緒的某一方面，例如情緒與大腦、情緒與幸福感，或情緒與電腦代理人。這本跨學科的書籍介紹了近期在神經科學、認知科學、哲學、計算機科學、人工智能、軟體和遊戲開發等領域的情緒研究。本書討論了人類情緒的組成部分以及如何將其融入機器中，人工代理人是否應該向人類用戶傳達情緒反應以及如何使這些反應更加真實可信，以及代理人是否應該接受和解讀用戶的情緒而不表現出自己的情緒。本書還涵蓋了情緒的演化和大腦結構，提供了定義情緒的詞彙和分類，並探討了情緒與機器、遊戲、虛擬世界和音樂的關係。
