We study emotions: what they are & how they work. We use experiential, behavioral, psychophysiological, brain-imaging techniques. Tweets by @joseph_fridman.

Looks like @HarvardBiz needs to keep up to date on the scientific literature. Outdated articles like this one are so unfortunate. journals.sagepub.com/stoken/…

Much of what you think you know about the brain is wrong, writes @anniemurphypaul. @LFeldmanBarrett's work can change that — and to help you make your life better in the process. trib.al/p1ezYox

More research is necessary to clarify these findings! The authors end by discussing all the different, exciting future directions we can take as affective scientists to improve our ability to answer these questions!

The authors discuss 2 potential explanations for these outcomes that require future study - either our methods for assessing emotion have flaws, or our emotion categories are not equally useful for understanding biological signals across individuals/contexts

Overall, above-chance classification accuracy was seen in the supervised clustering methods - emotion categories are telling us *something* about these signals. However, the unsupervised analyses did not correspond with emotion category labels across datasets

Using machine learning, they studied the correspondence of emotion labels with fMRI BOLD, autonomic nervous system, & self-reports of experience data, comparing supervised (using emotion categories) vs. unsupervised (no pre-assigned labels) clustering methods
