Affective Interactions: Toward a New Generation of Computer Interfaces?

Although emotions were, for a long time, considered undesirable for rational behaviour, there is now evidence in Neuroscience and Psychology that shows emotions to be an important factor in problem solving capabilities and intelligence in general [8]. As a result, a strong new field is emerging in computer science: Affective Computing, i.e. “computing that relates to, arises from or deliberately influences emotions” [21].
