Identifying Emotions on the Basis of Neural Activation.

We attempt to determine the discriminability and organization of neural activation corresponding to the experience of specific emotions. Method actors were asked to self-induce nine emotional states (anger, disgust, envy, fear, happiness, lust, pride, sadness, and shame) while in an fMRI scanner. Us...

description We attempt to determine the discriminability and organization of neural activation corresponding to the experience of specific emotions.
