title = "The Importance of the body in affect-modulated action selection: A case study comparing proximal versus distal perception in a prey-predator scenario",
abstract = "In the context of the animat approach, we investigate the effect of an emotion-like hormonal mechanism, as a modulator of perception - and second order controller to an underlying motivation-based action selection architecture - on brain-body-environment interactions within a prey-predator scenario. We are particularly interested in the effects that affective modulation of different perceptual capabilities has on the dynamics of interactions between predator and prey, as part of a broader study of the adaptive value of emotional states such as {"}fear{"} and {"}aggression{"} in the context of action selection. In this paper we present experiments where we modulated the architecture of a prey robot using two different types of sensory capabilities, proximal and distal, effectively creating combinations of different prey {"}brains{"} and {"}bodies{"}.",
