Damasio

Antonio Damasio is a neuroscientist renowned for his research on how emotions, feelings, and brain processes influence our decision-making, consciousness, and sense of self. He emphasizes that emotions are essential to rational thought and helps us understand how the brain integrates feelings with reasoning. Damasio’s work shows that our feelings are generated from bodily states and play a crucial role in guiding our actions, shaping our personal identity, and understanding how brain damage can affect emotions and behavior. His insights bridge the gap between biology and the human experience of thought and emotion.
