| Summary: | Traditional neuroscience has neglected the way in which the primary nature of emotions is generated by
brain activity, due to the difficulty in measuring emotional phenomena by external observation.
a set of new sciences, grouped under the name of “affective neuroscience”, is working to clarify the ways
in which the mammalian brain generates affective evaluations of the events that occur in the form of nonverbal
emotional states, and how the affects primitive emotions emerge from neuronal circuits located
under the neocortex.
In the past, emotions were considered by neuroscience studies as transient and reactive states, which interrupted
the mental flow between a stimulus and a response. contemporary neurosciences, on the contrary,
believe that they refer to involving active, perceptive, monitoring processes and in continuous adaptive
and emotional development is considered by a set of organized components.
this article discusses the scientific basis of emotions, the relationship between cognitive neuroscience and
affective neuroscience, the effects of neuroscientific studies of emotions on psychopathology and the psychotherapeutic
treatment of emotional dysfunction in psychiatric syndromes.
a study hypothesis will be introduced in order to recognize the vocal parameters characteristic of the experience
of anger with the help of Virtual reality.
