Cover of Who needs emotions?

Who needs emotions?

"The editors of this book have assembled a panel of experts in neuroscience and artificial intelligence who have dared to tackle the issue of whether robots can have emotions from a scientific perspective. The study of the brain now usefully informs study of the social, communicative, adaptive, regulatory, and experiential aspects of emotion, and offers support for the idea that we exploit our own psychological responses in order to feel others' emotions. The contributors show the many ways in which the brain can be analyzed to shed light on emotions." "This book is written for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, robotics, and artificial intelligence."—Jacket.
