Emotion

Author: Linda LowenIt's a "thou shalt not" rule carved in stone that every woman carries in her heart: You can't cry at work if you expect to be taken seriously and advance your career. In the game of life, the act of shedding tears is akin to drawing the 'Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200' card in Monopoly. This belief has been so thoroughly drummed into us that we won't even risk crying in the

Let me preface this post by saying that I am married to a truly great guy. Over the 14+ years that we've been married, he's learned that occasionally, I cry for absolutely no reason, and that when I share my deepest feelings with him, I might just need a listening ear, not a solution. He's gone from not knowing what in the world to do when my tears start (which is, to be honest, a rare

We are typically caught up in the life story and believe our thoughts and emotions have validity, but our emotional reactions and thoughts are a product of our own minds and not based on reality. Eric will be covering two stories and a thought experiment to delve into this subject. Website - Namaste, ~ Eric Putkonen

Paul Harrison, environmentalist and founder of the World Pantheist Movement, explains the basics of a belief system considered by some to be "sexed-up atheism." In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins calls Pantheism “sexed-up atheism.” This is a fair description. Pantheism, in essence, is reverence for Nature and the wider Universe—the Pantheist “God” is everything that exists. In fact the

when i say primal emotions i mean the emotions that we have that are just our animalistic nature. The ones that we have naturally, no facetious, no lamenting, no verbose sentences on how we feel, because someone didn't get to use all those SAT words they memorized. Basic emotions, things that make us human, our primal urges, and emotions. I can think of 4 basic ones off the top of my head, happy,

This week’s theme for Photohunt is emotion.  The below photos were taken just a few minutes after James proposed to me.  We got engaged at Give It A Name Festival in London (a music festival) in April 2006.  It was TOTALLY unexpected and looking back I don’t think anywhere else would have suited us so perfectly [...]

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Since most people spend their days behind computers expressing emotions via colons and parentheses anyway, the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University figured they'd just be done with it all when they created the "Mask of Emotion."

Many of you are already aware of how much I adore the movie Sunshine. It is by far one of the best films I have ever seen, but one thing that really stands out in the film is the music. No, the music isn't complex, or entirely memorable in the same sense as Star Wars, but the way in which such simplistic sounding music can evoke so much emotion. For those who have seen the movie you'll recogniz

Know how a whiff of certain odors can take you back in time, either to a great memory or bad one? It turns out emotion plays an even bigger role with the nose, and that your sense of smell actually can sharpen when something bad happens.Northwestern University researchers proved the surprising connection by giving volunteers electric shocks while they sniffed novel odors.The discovery, reported in Friday's edition of the journal Science, helps explain how our senses can steer us clear of danger. More intriguing, it could shed light on disorders such as post-traumatic stress syndrome."This is an incredibly unique study," said Dr. David Zald, a Vanderbilt University neuroscientist who studies how the brain handles sensory and emotional learning. "We're talking about a change in our perceptua

Many parents are convinced that the brains of their teenage offspring are different than those of children and adults. New data confirms that this is the case. An article by Jay N. Giedd, MD, of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), published in the Journal of Adolescent Health describes how brain changes in the adolescent brain impact cognition, emotion and behavior. Dr Giedd reviews the results from the NIMH Longitudinal Brain Imaging Project. This study and others indicate that gray matter increases in volume until approximately the early teens and then decreases until old age. Pinning down these differences in a rigorous way had been elusive until MRI was developed, offering the capacity to provide extremely accurate quantifications of brain anatomy and physiology without the

I consider myself lucky that my children don't go to the doctor very often. I can count on one hand the number of times we've taken either of them to the doctor for something other than a routine well-child check. Of course, I've probably jinxed myself now, and will endure a long string of ear infections, cuts and strange rashes as a punishment for bragging about that.But even the well-child visits are stressful for me. Cordy's visits always start with a full-blown meltdown because she is terrified of the doctor's office. Thankfully, those are only once a year now. For Mira, however, my stress results from the mental preparation of what will happen with each visit.I took Mira to the pediatrician for her nine month check-up the other day. The first part of the exam went relatively well: 20

Synaesthesia is the name of a rare clinical anomaly where people experience unusual and very real sensations, such as the taste of shapes, or the colour of sound.'The Emotion Organ is a synaesthetic simulacrum machine where players can explore the sensational interplay of feeling, seeing, hearing, smelling and motion. It is also a time machine - a re-engineered pump organ from 1895 that combines both old and emerging technology and builds upon a trajectory of several centuries-worth of ideas about synaesthetic phenomena.Without electricity it can be played as a conventional musical instrument, but when plugged in the organ produces varying combinations and intensities of sound, light, colour, scent, vibration and movement. When played it stimulates a highly subjective, cause-and-effect sen

“Man will become better when you show him what he is like.” - Anton Chekhov Our modern culture highly values our rationality. Genius, seemingly defined as those with great accomplishment, is highly celebrated by our culture, if not by income, at least by notoriety. Our emotionality, on the other hand, seems to get attributed with causing many of the problems our culture finds criminal. Rage is said to have led to many murders, domestic abuse, child abuse and greed to theft and fraud for a couple of examples. Combining genius and emotional disturbance however seems to characterize those that gain infamy in the history books. Hitler and Stalin come to mind. We are part rational, part emotional. From my clinical experience, we are unable to separate the two effectively. In other words,

A couple months back The Frontal Cortex had an interesting article about the seemingly contradictory nature of humans. The author is a neuroscientist and so has more than an average faith in the scientific method. 1. Jeff Lewis, the incredibly entertaining lunatic at the center of Flipping Out, the real-estate reality television show on Bravo, fires his psychic because she wasn't doing a good job of predicting the future. So what does he do? He goes and hires a different psychic. I'm fascinated by this thought process. On the one hand, Jeff's empirical enough to realize that his psychic sucked. But he never even flirts with the possibility that all psychics suck. I know that we all have our rational blind spots, but rarely are they so elegantly captured on television. 2. I've recently been spending some time, perhaps too much time, with a few professional poker players. In general, these guys are mathematical freaks, able to crunch complicated probabilities in a split second. Th

Bubelle is one of the prototypes Philips Design introduced to the world in September 2006 and got the top spot in this years Inventions Of The Year list from Time magazine in the category Fashion.

The Bubelle Dress is made up of two layers, the inner layer contains biometric sensors that pick up a person’s emotions and projects them in colors onto the second layer, the outer textile. As futuristic as the Bubelle Dress might seem, as logical it actually might be. We select clothing n

If you’re going to be a successful futures trader, you have to learn to take emotion out of the equation. Learn to trade like a robot. There’s no room for emotion in futures trading. Futures traders learn to trust themselves and their system. If you start letting emotion rule your decisions, fear, anger and greed will undermine your carefully planned and practiced strategies. It is by persistently following your system, by dispassionately relying on what your charts tell you, by religiously following your indicators that you will succeed as a futures trader. (more…)

All the 12 keys to success are equally important, the order of all the keys are not important here. For example, Key #1 is Never Gives Up, the order of it doesn't matter here.

When you speak it's important that you can hear your feelings in the words that you say, otherwise you don't sound sincere.

Nicu Sebe and Theo Gevers who are Dutch Researchers are very well known for deciphering the smile of Mona Lisa have just created a revolutionary new face recognition system which and get this gauges a persons level of happiness.

In Massachusetts, some homosexual activists have a truly distorted idea of what constitutes authentic dialogue: http://www.massresistance.org/docs/info/know_thy_neighbor.html"A discussion is an orderly confrontation based on a mutual willingness to learn from one another. It involves the presentation of evidence by each party and then a good-faith attempt of the participants in the discussion to come to agreement. Discussion presupposes some degree of rational disagreement between us or at least a lack of consensus. If I agreed with you already, we would have nothing to discuss. In a discussion, I do not primarily want to disagree: I want to know the truth. If I do not think that what you say is true, then I disagree, stating my reasons as clearly as possible and without animosity. The same is true for you: you present me with your reasons. By sharing our ideas freely, we hope to arrive at a deeper truth. In a discussion, disagreement is for the sake of agreement.....An argument (emoti

I wrote a rather benign (I though at least) piece while having coffee the other morning about my observations on the new iPhone coming out June 11th. You can read it here. If you do not care to read it, the gist was that a $600 cell phone will not be a hit. I went on to explain some of my issues with it and finished by saying Apple (APPL)should "cut the price to $299 and you may have something".... [[ This is a content summary only.

Im sure you noticed the post we did yesterday about great music in commericials. One of the commercials higlighted was the one from Sony for their PSP in which a girl makes a scavenger hunt type puzzle for your boyfriend to track her down with, via the PSP. The tune playing in the background is from Kenna, (who was raised here in Cincinnati) and who is finally making a new record, his first since the 2003 debut, New Sacred Cow. It turns out the song got its official premiere on East Village Radio last October. The song then later became available on ITunes in December. Fans went kinda nutty over this new song and began searching for information, only to come up empty handed for awhile. Well, its turns out there is some official news now regarding the return of Kenna. He will be releasing a new album sometime this Spring on Star Trak Records, an imprint of Interscope.

Reviewed by Richard Restak (homepage)Sunday, December 17, 2006; BW12 THE EMOTION MACHINE* Commonsense Thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Human Mind By Marvin Minsky** Amazon Astore UK | US Writers about the human mind generally fall into three camps: philosophers, psychologists and others who weave elaborate theories about the mind without any reference to the brain; neuroscientists who attempt to link mind matters with brain states; and, finally, members of the computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) communities who suggest that it's possible to replicate human thinking in a machine. Marvin Minsky, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an early pioneer in developing artificial intelligence, is an eminent denizen of the third camp. In The Emotion Machine, Minsky aims to find '

Understandably, the Wolves offense runs with much more ease when Kevin Garnett is on the floor, so one of the tough tasks for Coach Casey is to figure out when to get him rest. Coach should implement the Michael Jordan substitution for Garnett as that would most likely be the most effective use of the Big Ticket throughout the game. The Michael Jordan substitution was to sit with two or three minutes left in both the first and third quarters, utilizing those extra few minutes between quarters. Re-entering the game with roughly 8 ½ to 9 minutes left in the second and fourth quarters, Jordan was able to finish the games strong yet. He was also back in the game before an opponent's run got out of hand. It is also great to see Justin Reed getting minutes, although he is only on the court that much due to the injury to Marko Jaric. How about the rebound Reed grabbed while sitting on the floor? Great hustle. Writers are always quick to criticize, but slow to praise when a player, coach or

Images which are decidedly asymmetric often have a different "feel' when oriented in one direction as compared to the other. This is important since it effects the message conveyed by an image and in the digital era it is a trivial matter to flip an image on its horizontal or vertical axis.In cultures where language is read from left to right, images that "flow' from left to right (or have an isolated subject placed on the left) are said to feel more peaceful than those which have a flow in the opposite, or right to left direction. The theory is that eye movement from right to left goes against the natural tendency for people to "read' an image from left to right, thereby causing a sense of tension. In cultures where written language is read from right to left, the opposite is said to be true.This can, at times, be used in a subtle fashion to accentuate the feeling we are trying to convey in an image. I am not suggesting that an emotionless image will suddenly come to life
