Description
Emotions shape all aspects of our thinking and behavior, particularly when we communicate with others. How does our brain respond to emotions
conveyed by picture media, human faces, voices, and written language? How do we integrate this information in social interaction? What
goes wrong in the brains of people suffering from emotional disorders? This book reviews modern neuroscientific and psychological research
providing answers to these questions. In this volume, leading researchers give comprehensive overviews of the current knowledge on different
aspects of emotional perception and the underlying brain mechanisms and highlight outstanding research questions for the future. This
book provides essential information for other researchers in the fields of affective and cognitive neuroscience as well as for advanced
students.
