"emotion is the combination of a mental evaluative process, simple or complex, with dispositional responses to that process, mostly toward the body proper, resulting in an emotional body state, but also toward the brain itself [...] resulting in additional mental changes."
"all emotions generate feelings if you are awake and alert, but not all feelings originate in emotions. I call background feelings those that do not originate in emotions."
"If an emotion is a collection of changes in body state connected to particular mental images that have activated a specific brain system, the essence of feeling an emotion is the experience of such changes in juxtaposition to the mental images that initiated the cycle. [...] a feeling depends on the juxtaposition of an image of the body proper to an image of something else such as the visual image of a face or the auditory image of a melody."
"somatic markers [...] assist the process of sifting through [the] wealth of detail [involved in decision-making] -- in effect, reduce the need for sifting because they provide an automated detection of the scenario components which are more likely to be relevant."
Damasio proposes a Somatic-Marker hypothesis which integrates feelings generated by secondary emotions into rational decision making.
