Course Description The aim of the course is to explore the emotional components of Design. Starting from a neuroscientific definition of what an emotion is, the perceptual properties of human artifacts are studied, able to raise emotions, with the consequent design responsibilities. After an analysis of the evolution of Design, the human brain structures are presented, and the related sites for the emotions, properly classified. Then the perceptual properties of the human artifacts are examined, both in terms of embodies capabilities and of cultural interpretations, able to raise one of more of the specific emotions previously classified. Many examples and critical comments are provided. Main referred authors are Jaak Panksepp (for the emotional systems and the related taxonomy) and Vilayanur Ramachandran(for the perceptual aspects).
