Abstract
The chapter provides an engineering-oriented perspective of the emotional processing exposed by the human brain. In fact, it is strongly believed that the next generation of embedded systems will natively integrate similar forms of intelligence in the device/application to provide sophisticated behaviors. Automatic and controlled conscious mechanisms are presented as well as the principal components taking part to the management of emotions. At the lower level of emotion processing we have fast automatic mechanisms, which show to be very effective but introduce possible erroneous evaluations. The conscious upper level, once activated, might overwrite decisions taken at the lower level by executing more complex functions that, following a false positive might even request reconfiguration of the functional elements composing the automatic level.
