The notion of affective computing refers to systems that can recognize, express and in some sense be said to have emotions. The book consists of two parts, where the first gives an overview of research into the nature of emotion from different academic fields, how emotions can be represented and what it would mean to have emotional computers. The second part is concerned with implementation techniques. Although it may seem odd to talk about emotions in relations to computers, there are potentially interesting application domains such as mediated communication, learning and adaptive systems. no reviews | add a review
Scientific findings have indicated that emotions play an essential role in decision making, perception, learning, and more - that is, they influence the very mechanisms of rational thinking. Not only too much, but too little emotion can impair decision making. According to Rosalind Picard, if we want computers to be genuinely intelligent and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, even to have and express emotions.
