Recent advances in our understanding of information states in the human brain have opened a new window into the brain's representation of emotion. While emotion was once thought to constitute a separate domain from cognition, current evidence suggests that all events are filtered through the lens of whether they are good or bad for us. Focusing on new methods of decoding information states from brain activation, we review growing evidence that emotion is represented at multiple levels of our sensory systems and infuses perception, attention, learning, and memory. We provide evidence that the primary function of emotional representations is to produce unified emotion, perception, and thought (e.g., "That is a good thing") rather than discrete and isolated psychological events (e.g., "That is a thing. I feel good"). The emergent view suggests ways in which emotion operates as a fundamental feature of cognition, by design ensuring that emotional outcomes are the central object of perception, thought, and action.

情感客观性：情感的神经表征及其与认知的相互作用。

我们对人脑中信息状态的理解的最新进展为了解人的情感表达打开了一个新窗口。尽管曾经认为情感与认知是一个独立的领域，但目前的证据表明，所有事件都是通过对我们有利还是不利的镜头过滤掉的。着眼于从大脑激活中解码信息状态的新方法，我们回顾了越来越多的证据表明情绪在我们的感觉系统的多个层面上表现出来，并灌输了感知，注意力，学习和记忆。我们提供的证据表明，情感表征的主要功能是产生统一的情感，知觉和思想（例如，“那是一件好事”），而不是离散的和孤立的心理事件（例如，“那是一件事情。我感觉很好” ”）。
