How emotions work | Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. Emotions are not hardwired universal circuits; the brain actively constructs them using past experiences as predictive models.
2. Continuous interoceptive tracking of metabolic states like glucose and oxygen surfaces consciously as basic affect or mood.
3. Deliberately curating new actions and experiences updates the brain's internal generative models to reshape future emotions.
