The socratic seminars also helped me understand how emotion is not separate from the body, but is linked to all neural networks.]]> 2022-05-27 16:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202361133 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202361724 Emotions are our somatic responses to specific stimuli, learned and capable of being emulated preemptively, visceral concomitants and whatnot. They form the basis for our cognitive processes, especially decision-making, and are crucial to our consciousness and experiences as humans.]]> 2022-05-27 16:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202361724 24gusjan https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202361762 Emotions are crucial for decision making and socializing. They are connected to our bodies through the mind-body puzzle ]]> 2022-05-27 16:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202361762 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362239 I learned a lot about how emotions are important for decision-making, and how damage to certain brain areas like the prefrontal cortex can impair people's ability to make good decisions or plan for the future. This week reshaped my thinking about emotions because I now see emotions and rational thought to be connected and realize how important they are. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:07:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362239 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362399 Emotions and feelings are both different and felt when experience different activities. We are all constantly feeling a baseline emotion and then we only feel emotions when something changes in that. For example I could be having a good day and that's a baseline emotion but if someone randomly gives me a gift then I will feel happy and that is not a baseline emotion.]]> 2022-05-27 16:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362399 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362820 I have learned that our emotions really are connected to who we are as humans. Our brain gives us emotions and physical reactions that go on with that. 
One example of this is somatic markers. 
Along with Phineas Gage, when his brain was damaged his emotions and reaction were not normal. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362820 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362824 One exsperience from emotions this week is going to the patanical gardens. I learbed that there are many things that are both in nature and in the nervous system. Also, how both of these things connect together and there are repeats of nature together. Another exsperience I had that taught me more about emotions is the socratic smeinars and talking about the mind and body and how both of these things connects. Also, how the mind and body coralte with eachother and are not seperate things. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202362824 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202363506 1)  I have learned about how emotions are divided into primary and secondary responses, which each have different sets of functions and effects on your body and mental state
2) I learned about how the brain can process things I consider to be abstract by processing the specific triggers from the stimuli it receives, and reacting accordingly
3) I learned about how important emotions are to processing the world around me, and how there might not be as big a distinction between emotions and physical responses than I had originally thought]]> 2022-05-27 16:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202363506 25kamjac https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202363555 Emotional responses provide a unique evolutionary advantage to humans. I think that the last Damasio seminar helped reinforce this idea. This is because of Dmasio's explanation of the mind-body puzzle and somatic markers and the concept of logistical vs. emotional decision-making as it relates to unconscious or rapid decisions. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202363555 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202364025 I have learned a lot about the different psychology and biology that have played a part in emotions and have been able to connect where different structures and parts are located in our brain. Going to the botanical gardens helped me a lot in identifying particular shapes of systems and where each is located. I also have found that emotions are not separate, and Socratic seminars have helped me to identify how emotions relate to different things, like decision making. I also liked focusing on one particular topic, as it helped me to identify more of the parts of the brain. This is also related to how we feel.]]> 2022-05-27 16:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202364025 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202365528 I learned emotions exist as a way for our brains to connect feelings to biological phenomena. This makes our decision-making skills faster because we are able to attach a positive or negative feeling to each possible scenario which limits the time it takes us to decide which scenario is best. It also helps us empathize with others and helps us adapt our secondary responses.]]> 2022-05-27 16:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202365528 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366412 I also think that the Phinease Gage's emotions where lost with his accident. Also, the damage to the prefrontal cortex made Phinease lack emotions. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366412 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366656 I learned how emotions and feelings are not the same and cannot be used interchangeably. I also learned how emotions are essential in the decision making process even if it is unconscious.]]> 2022-05-27 16:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366656 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366768 Even though emotions can by explained by neurobiological processes, this doesn't diminish the amazingness of our experience as emotional beings, and it doesn't invalidate any of our feelings.]]> 2022-05-27 16:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202366768 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202367098 Learning about the different types of neurotransmitters and their roles biologically and psychologically speaking has helped me understand emotions to a greater extent. This knowledge has also helped me conceptualize how emotions exist to help connect our feelings to the biology of our bodies (mind-body puzzle). It has been super interesting to think about this idea in correlation with dualism and how that is not a valid theory anymore. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202367098 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202367333 I found it interesting how his decision making was effected when he lost some of his normal emotions. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202367333 25kamjac https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202368105 I had a very similar takeaway, and I also thought a lot about how emotions play a role in decision-making. I thought that it was very interesting how emotions connect to the concept of rational thought and what that term truly means. ]]> 2022-05-27 16:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202368105 https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202368554 Emotions and feelings are internal and external connections we have to out of and inner body expericences. Emotions are a part of our every day lives as we as a society have connected an emotion to every unique feeling. for instance when I think deserts I think of tasty and delicous which makes me feel happy]]> 2022-05-27 16:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nabilairizarry/kma2wpd7vq0e5idt/wish/2202368554
