How Your Brain Creates Reality
YouTube video by Lisa Feldman Barrett How Your Brain Creates Reality

New video! Can a gadget really detect your level of stress? When your heart pounds hard in your chest, what does it mean psychologically? It depends. Your everyday experience is constructed from interacting signals inside and outside you, an idea called "relational meaning." youtu.be/mpRoxR81lSU

I hope you find the science in this video interesting and useful. Please keep in mind that I am relaying the current state of scientific discovery as I understand it and use it in my own life. I am not a medical doctor (I'm a neuroscientist) and these are not medical recommendations.

We really need a word for β€œthe set of facial muscle movements that the classical view of emotion treats as a coordinated unit.” I use facial "configuration" instead of "expression," and emotion "perception" instead of "recognition" or "detection." These more neutral terms carry fewer assumptions.
