An Appraisal-Driven Componential Approach to the Emotional Brain (2018, neutral): “Jamesian and basic emotion theories speak in favor of the existence of specific patterns, at least for some emotions (e.g., for “standard emotions,” James, 1884; or for “basic emotions,” see Levenson, 2011).”
Affective Neuroscience: Past, Present, and Future (2009, background): “(James, 1884), proposed that emotions are no more than the experience of sets of bodily changes that occur in response to emotive cues in the world.”
Recognition of Emotions in Autism: A Formal Meta-Analysis (2013, result): “Again, other studies show good performance by autistic children even in subtle tasks (Castelli 2005; Tracy et al. 2011).”
Affect Detection: An Interdisciplinary Review of Models, Methods, and Their Applications (2010, background): “James' theory is summarized by a quote from James: If we fancy some strong emotion, and then try to abstract from our consciousness of it all the feelings of its characteristic bodily symptoms, we find that we have nothing left behind [4].”
The Construction of Emotion in Interactions, Relationships, and Cultures (2012, background): “Yet, much psychological theorizing and research on emotions has focused on nonsocial situations such as physical threats (e.g., James, 1884; LeDoux, 1996).”
Heartbeat detection and the experience of emotions (2000, background): “Many psychophysiological theories of emotion hypothesise that selfperception of visceral activity is an important component of emotional experience (Cacioppo, Berntson, & Klein, 1992; James, 1884; Schachter & Singer, 1962).”
Automatic and controlled processes in behavioural control: Implications for personality psychology (2010, background): “24: 376–403 (2010) DOI: 10.1002/per (re)discovery of implicit personality processes (Bargh & Williams, 2006; for further evidence, see below).”
Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (2013, neutral): “Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins.”
Overlapping activity in anterior insula during interoception and emotional experience (2012, positive): “Given both empirical evidence and theoretical arguments that bodily states are a key component of emotional responses (Davis et al., 2010; James, 1884; Stepper and Strack, 1993) we predicted that AI subregions responsive to interoception would also be engaged by emotional experience.”
How Does Mindfulness Meditation Work? Proposing Mechanisms of Action From a Conceptual and Neural Perspective (2011, neutral): “Body sensations have been ascribed a crucial role in the conscious experience of emotions (feelings), not only historically (James, 1884), but also currently (Bechara & Naqvi, 2004; Damasio, 1999, 2003).”
Human emotion recognition from EEG-based brain–computer interface using machine learning: a comprehensive review (2022, neutral): “…anguish, shame [22] Fear, sadness, happiness, anger, disgust, surprise [23] Rage and terror, anxiety, joy [24] Pain, pleasure [25] Fear, love, rage [26] Fear, grief, love, rage [27] Expectancy, rage, fear, panic [28] Sadness, happiness [29] Anger, courage, aversion, dejection, despair, desire,…”
