Ranjeeth, Joe,

Regarding emotions, we should closely examine the work of people like Nico H.
Frijda.

He has written a very interesting book called "The Emotions": Studies in Emotion
& Social Interaction.

I've read it a number of times and believe that it would form a good reference
for our work on emotions in regards to HumanML.  There are many other sources as
well.  Are either of you familiar with Frijda's work?
