The Damasio Institute

The Damasio Institute is a research center dedicated to understanding the biological basis of emotions, decision-making, and consciousness. Founded by neuroscientist António Damasio, it explores how brain processes influence our feelings, behaviors, and sense of self. Through scientific studies and innovative methods, the institute aims to deepen knowledge of human cognition and emotional health, potentially leading to better treatments for neurological and psychological conditions. It serves as a hub for interdisciplinary research, uniting neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to enhance our understanding of what makes us human.
