Psychologists at Aalto University (AU) in Finland have conducted a study to decipher where on the human body emotion manifests.
Most people describe having “butterflies in your stomach” or having “your heart race with excitement” when experiencing love.
Depression is described as having a “dampened” feeling in the “arms, legs and head”; while danger feels like “strong sensations in the chest area”.
Lauri Nummenmaa, lead author of the study and psychologist for the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science at AU, explains: “Our emotional system in the brain sends signals to the body so we can deal with our situation. Say you see a snake and you feel fear. Your nervous system increases oxygen to your muscles and raises your heart rate so you can deal with the threat. It’s an automated system. We don’t have to think about it.”
Scientists have disagreed on how each emotion distinctly manifests as physical patterns on the human body.
Nummenmaa gathered 700 volunteers to participate in this experiment .
Volunteers were shown 2 blank silhouettes of persons on a screen and asked to determine their emotions by painting the areas of the body that were stimulated by that emotion.
