Scientific advances are enabling information and communication technologies to develop new interfaces with the unconscious brain with a view to a more natural interaction with human beings. Much research is being directed at processing emotions from many different perspectives: social robotics cooperate with elderly people or autism patients for embodying emotions and personality traits in robot behaviour; brain-computer Interfaces (BCI) are used for manipulating computers and machinery with thoughts for a variety of purposes but also detecting the primary emotions elicit by different stimuli or the early detection of Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); deep Brain Stimulation is used for treating depression or any other compulsive disorder from a neuroprosthetics perspective, hippocampal cultures are trained electrically using Hebbian learning and the learning may be enhanced with antidepressant or antiepileptic drugs; speech may be used for detecting the main emotional expressions or preliminary neurological diseases. At present, scientists are advancing in their research programmes in parallel. But there is no common framework for interfacing or processing emotional information from a technological point of view or for sharing information between research programmes. By bringing together multi-disciplinary research groups and other stakeholders working on topics that are related to these fields , we will fast-track new ways to develop frontier emotional technologies that link limbic neural sciences to emerging technologies having the potential to make an impact on society.
