Emotion is a fundamental human psychology component that plays a significant role in our lives. Understanding how humans process emotions is important to understanding others’ feelings and sensibility. Also, it is essential to understand how the adaptive processing of emotions plays a significant role in being psychologically healthy and maintaining a harmonious society. For example, maladaptive processing of positive and negative emotional information might cause psychological problems like clinical depression that might affect individuals and society. This course applies findings from the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience and the psychological studies of cognition, motivation, and emotion. Basic, complex and social emotions are explored from the perspective of, for example, the subjective experience of emotion, non-conscious processes, and how emotions are interpreted, expressed, or regulated. Affective systems, neural networks, and their relationship to cognitive processes such as attention, learning, memory, and decision-making are addressed. Knowledge of the interaction between cognition and emotion helps create a balanced and harmonious society and is also helpful in technology development and its usage. Given this, it seems only sensible to commit to affect and emotion in human-computer interaction, investigate the underlying principles, study their role, develop methods to quantify them and build applications that use them. In this course, we will also discuss the role of mindfulness meditation in cognitive and emotional processes, which in turn may affect well-being from the scientific lens.
