  • Abstract
    We review a previously developed engineering control approach to attention, presenting detailed attention control function assignments to the wealth of brain modules experimentally observed. A proposed mechanism for attention amplification through acetylcholine is analysed by use of neural field theory. The control system is extended to include biasing by emotional valence, with qualitative analysis given of a range of emotion paradigms. A discussion of emotion recognition in the brain concludes the paper.
