Abstract
Our purpose here is to review all the physiological changes accompanying the emotions of man and the higher animals that have been studied thus far. Such reviews are easy to find in the literature (for example, see Lindsley, 1951). We will consider only the changes in those physiological functions, the dynamics and mechanisms of which have become more clear due to the information theory.
