However, we lack an integrative framework for understanding how different emotion-related …

In recent years, brain-based technologies that capitalise on human abilities to facilitate
human–system/robot interactions have been actively explored, especially in brain robotics …

For more than one century, brain processing was mainly thought in a localizationist
