Abstract

Affective information processing is analysed considering the emotion circuits within the brain substrates of emotionality. Based on Gärdenfors’ [8] conceptual spaces model we try to examine an emotion episode from its elicitation to the differentiation into affective processes. An affective-conceptual spaces model is developed taking in consideration Panksepp’s [20] nested BrainMind hierarchies.
