About this event
Ever wondered where your feelings come from and how they shape your daily experiences? Are emotions perceived similarly across cultures? What is the role of language? Join us in exploring the captivating realm of the ‘Neuroscience of Emotions’, a talk that unveils the intricate workings of our emotional landscapes. Emotions extend beyond the boundaries of our brains, mapping onto our bodies and affecting changes within us.
We’ll also explore the profound connection between the neuroscience of emotions and prevalent mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Armed with this knowledge, you can navigate your own emotional landscape and gain insights into the feelings of those around you.
