[MUSIC] Whoa. Are you still here? So, perhaps you are the bravest among the brave. In this second session, we will try to understand which are the basic bricks of emotional processes. So, you can think on a very specific action. For example my avatar is receiving a hit from an unknown source, and with a very strange book. But anyhow, what happens inside that brain? First of all this is a situation of an appraisal, this is an estimation of the situation. What is happening here, it's a dangerous situation. Secondly, this is a valence of this process in which the human being decides that this is a negative input at least regarding to his own body. Third, we can find an elicitation process in which moment the, that guy tried, tries to dodge the the, the peril. There's also a drive situation in which that guy try to pursue some goal. For example, avoiding having philosophy books at home because they can be dangerous for your mind and also for your head. And, there are more things, like, for example, the arousal in which process we can consider the, the several range of, of possible responses that happen in that, in that boy. For example, the skin mech, mechanoceptors receive a pressure, then nociceptors create a, a, a pain si, signal. And there's a hormone activation trying to, to activate the fight or flight response. The, there is also a communication process in which the gestures, the tone, the facial expression the painful face, the yelling vocalization is, is produced. And also, can produce the situation on empathy and empathetic process that is when you put yourself in other people's shoes. For example, you can feel in your body the hit that is received by another guy in, in his body. And this can produce a, a response of, of help towards that, that guy or not. So, we can try to find something like general framework in which, but the most important things that happen in, in an emotional process. And we could see two basic coordinates for example, time and intensity, but the truth is that there are three. Time, Intensity and Valence. First, some emotions happen for small, tiny, long or, or even non-ending lapses of time. Secondly, we can find the intensity. The intensity of the sign now, we are receiving. And finally, the valance, the meaning of this kind of, of input for your brain, for your head, for your body, for your general dispositions. You can see here my avatar finds a dangerous thing or not, it depends on, on your evaluation of the situation and produces a response. So, we can think on emotions like the coordination of several kind of basic contexts and, and, and pieces of in, of, of information that produce things. Or, along these three coordinates, in time, for example, creating moods that are emotional, stable action patterns that guide our ac, our actions for a specific extensions of, of, extensions of time. There is also an intensity in which our body tie, tries to stabilize the, the, the whole system. For example, take, consider the body like a homeostatic system. And finally, the balance. Try to correlate the, the information that has been captured by our senses. Into some kind of a reaction that surely will benefit us or at least will try not to harm our bodies. So, when we think, think on emotional actions, we can find several aspects that can explain the emotional events. These event, these aspects are put into a two dimensional, or even a three dimensional Cart, Cartesian axes, or structure. And at the same time, we can consider emotions like dynamic strategies that are very useful to deal with internal as well as with external information. And then to make possible to allow proper reactions. So, thank you so much for being here and I hope to see you in the next session. Bye.
