大脑特征揭示我们如何有意识地体验情绪强度

Summary: Researchers found a brain signature related to conscious emotional intensity. Using AI, brain imaging and real - life scenarios, they measured arousal from various emotions, separating it from involuntary body responses. This challenges the view on separating feelings and physical reactions. It also paves the way for AI, affective computing and treating emotional disorders.

Key Facts:

• Precise brain signature for conscious emotional arousal.
• Shows feelings can be separated from body responses.
• Has wide applications.

Arousal is part of emotions. Scientists don't fully understand how the brain creates it or if the systems for it are the same as for other states. A HKU study led by Benjamin Becker found a brain signature for conscious emotional intensity, measuring it across different situations and separating the conscious experience from automatic physiological responses.

The findings relate to a long - standing debate. They could also drive the development of emotionally intelligent AI, improve brain - computer interfaces and affective computing, and help design interventions for emotional disorders.

In short, this research helps understand how the brain creates emotional arousal and is useful for future emotion - related studies and applications.
