Emotion classificationEmotion classification, the means by which one may distinguish or contrast one emotion from another, is a contested issue in emotion research and in affective science. Researchers have approached the classification of emotions from one of two fundamental viewpoints: that emotions are discrete and fundamentally different constructs that emotions can be characterized on a dimensional basis in groupings In discrete emotion theory, all humans are thought to have an innate set of basic emotions that are cross-culturally recognizable.
Émotionthumb|upright=1.8|Roue des émotions de Robert Plutchik.|alt= L'émotion est une expérience psychophysiologique complexe et intense (avec un début brutal et une durée relativement brève) de l'état d'esprit d'un individu animal liée à un objet repérable lorsqu'il réagit aux influences biochimiques (internes) et environnementales (externes). Chez les humains, l'émotion inclut fondamentalement « un comportement physiologique, des comportements expressifs et une conscience ».
Blood pressure measurementArterial blood pressure is most commonly measured via a sphygmomanometer, which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. Blood pressure values are generally reported in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), though aneroid and electronic devices do not contain mercury. For each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are contracting.
Blood pressureBlood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure results from the heart pumping blood through the circulatory system. When used without qualification, the term "blood pressure" refers to the pressure in a brachial artery, where it is most commonly measured. Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum pressure during one heartbeat) over diastolic pressure (minimum pressure between two heartbeats) in the cardiac cycle.
Émotion (zoologie)vignette|Un dessin d'un chat par T. W. Wood dans le livre de Charles Darwin, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, décrit comme agissant «dans un état d'esprit affectueux» L'émotion en zoologie désigne les sentiments et émotions subjectifs éprouvés par des animaux non-humains. Les émotions peuvent être décrites comme des états conscients, subjectifs caractérisés premièrement par les expressions psychophysiologiques, les réactions biologiques, et les états mentaux.
Tensiomètrevignette|Tensiomètre aneroïde Spengler avec sangles. Un tensiomètre, ou sphygmomanomètre, est un appareil de mesure médical utilisé pour mesurer la pression artérielle. Le terme dérive du grec sphygmós (pouls) associé à manomètre. En 1733, Stephen Hales trouve une méthode pour visualiser la pression artérielle, méthode présentée dans sa publication Haemastaticks, traduit en français sous le titre la statique des animaux.
Emotion recognitionEmotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotion. People vary widely in their accuracy at recognizing the emotions of others. Use of technology to help people with emotion recognition is a relatively nascent research area. Generally, the technology works best if it uses multiple modalities in context. To date, the most work has been conducted on automating the recognition of facial expressions from video, spoken expressions from audio, written expressions from text, and physiology as measured by wearables.

Group emotionGroup emotion refers to the moods, emotions and dispositional affects of a group of people. It can be seen as either an emotional entity influencing individual members' emotional states (top down) or the sum of the individuals' emotional states (bottom up). This view sees the group's dynamic processes as responsible for an elusive feeling state which influences the members' feelings and behavior. This view, that groups have an existence as entities beyond the characters that comprise them, has several angles.
Emotions and cultureAccording to some theories, emotions are universal phenomena, albeit affected by culture. Emotions are "internal phenomena that can, but do not always, make themselves observable through expression and behavior". While some emotions are universal and are experienced in similar ways as a reaction to similar events across all cultures, other emotions show considerable cultural differences in their antecedent events, the way they are experienced, the reactions they provoke and the way they are perceived by the surrounding society.
