Neuroqualia

Background:

Never before have we mapped the entire range of human feelings and emotions. The Human Affectome Project will produce a comprehensive taxonomy of articulated experience and tie it to what we currently know about neurobiology.

The project will involve a taskforce of researchers working in teams. It will involve neuroscientists, psychologists, sociologists, computational lingustics researchers, and many other specialists who will work together to produce a comprehensive and robust functional model of affect that will serve as a common focal point for future research in the field.

I work as part of the taskforce asigned to the emotion of Sadness in collaboration with Andrew H. Kemp (Ph.D.; head advisor) among other researchers of the international spectrum of neurosciences.

So long, the result of this project is a book chapter on Neuroscience & Social Sciences and a collaborative review named “The Neuroscience of Sadness”. Both publications are available as attached documents to this project:
