Feeling
Subscribe to this topic via: RSS
Feelings are the subjective processes by which the mind and body interact.
Sensations flow from the senses to the mind (mostly through the nervous system), and the mind’s subconscious evaluations form emotions which alter the body’s physiology (largely through the release of hormones). Together, we call these “feelings.”
For the mind’s more consciously agentic processes, see The Intellect.

Acute tissue injury activates an ensemble of interdependent nervous, endocrine, and immune processes that operate in concert and comprise a supersystem. Some chronic pain conditions result from supersystem dysregulation. Individuals vary and are vulnerable to dysregulation due to the unique interactions of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors and past experiences that characterize each person.

In five experiments, participants (n = 701) were shown two silhouettes of bodies alongside emotional words, stories, movies, or facial expressions. They were asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt increasing or decreasing while viewing each stimulus. Different emotions were consistently associated with statistically separable bodily sensation maps across experiments. These maps were concordant across West European and East Asian samples.

We demonstrate that exertion of self-control for as little as 45 min can lead to an increased propensity for engaging in aggressive acts in the context of socially relevant choices, as measured by a set of economic games. Also, we show that such behavioral changes are associated with increased sleep-like (delta) activity within frontal brain areas related to decision-making and impulse control.

We found that Russian speakers were faster to discriminate two colors when they fell into different linguistic categories in Russian than when they were from the same linguistic category. Moreover, this category advantage was eliminated by a verbal, but not a spatial, dual task.

Aesthetic beauty is as much about how (and whether) you look as what you see. From the cork to the supernova, wonders do not cease. It is our attentiveness that is in short supply: our willingness to do the work that awe requires.
