Lisa Feldman Barrett - How Emotions are Made The Secret Life of the Brain

The video explores the nature of emotions, challenging the traditional belief that emotions are innate and fixed. Instead, it presents emotions as constructed experiences, shaped by the brain in response to context. The brain's primary role is to regulate the body's systems, and emotions arise from the brain's interpretation of bodily sensations in relation to the external world. This understanding emphasizes the variability and context-dependence of emotional experiences.
