Title
Who Needs Emotions? The Brain Meets the Robot
Subject
EMOTIONS
Description
For some, emotions are uniquely human attributes; for others,
emotions can be seen everywhere from animals to machines and even the
weather. Yet, ever since Darwin published The Expression of the Emotions in
Man and Animals, it has been agreed that, no matter what may be their
uniquely human aspects, emotions in some sense can be attributed to a wide
range of animals and studied within the unifying framework of evolutionary
theory. In particular, by relating particular facial expressions in an animal
species to patterns of social behavior, we can come to more deeply appreciate how and why our own, human, social interactions can express our emotions; but what is “behind” these facial expressions? Part II of this book,
“Brains,” will probe the inner workings of the brain that accompany the range
of human and animal emotions and present a range of unique insights gained
by placing these brain mechanisms in an evolutionary perspective.
