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 &quot;fear&quot; and &quot;aggression&quot; 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 &quot;brains&quot; and &quot;bodies&quot;.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
