Absolutely, I don't think anyone could question this. Sensations are so filtered and processed that the sensorium we experience is pretty much just an elaborate fabrication of the brain... and no perception, memory-association or thought comes naked into our qualia - they all have some emotional dressing. Plus, I'm guessing that all the background subconsciousnesses (I mean that literally - all the potential Identities that don't quite make all the way to full conscousness) have their own emotional baggage that surely has a significant affect upon us.
