He stared, jaw slack, at the billboard. His digital art, his painstakingly crafted animations, used to advertise a new energy drink. He felt a surge of energy, a jittery buzz beneath his skin. He clutched his phone, knuckles white, a primal urge to tear down the image. But the image was huge. He felt a frantic giggle bubble up from his stomach, he had to get out of here. He spun on his heels, pushing through the crowd, unable to contain the strange, exhilarating sensation.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
