What We Talk About When We Talk About Emotion Editing
Emotional image editing aims to change the emotion a scene conveys while preserving its essential content.

Key points
- Because the same scene can support different emotional interpretations, achieving an emotional goal requires visual changes grounded in the source context.
- Motivated by the Component Process Model, which links emotional responses to event appraisal, we investigate neural representations as a reference for these editing decisions.
- Using TRIBE v2, an fMRI encoding model, we analyze 400 source-target pairs across eight emotion categories.
- Hidden states from EmoEdit, EmoEditor, and AffectDelta correspond more strongly to predicted target-image responses in visual regions than in affect-related regions.
