Emotion research

Emotion research studies how and why people experience feelings like happiness, sadness, anger, or fear. It explores how emotions arise in the brain, how they influence thoughts and behaviors, and their role in human decision-making and relationships. Researchers use tools like brain imaging and psychological assessments to understand these processes. The goal is to better comprehend emotional functioning, manage mental health, and improve well-being by understanding the biological and psychological mechanisms that underpin our emotional experiences.
