Have you ever wondered if the emotions we show are just a performance? According to a study published in Brain Sciences, we often measure
The study delves into how synthetic emotions are influenced by social and cognitive factors. Traditional measurement tools, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and questionnaires, might capture only responses that conform to social expectations rather than genuine emotions. Additionally, artificial intelligence, trained on filtered datasets, could replicate these conformist responses. The authors suggest a post-synthetic approach that values authenticity and inclusivity, recognizing neurodiverse emotional expressions as potential indicators of more genuine emotions. This approach could revolutionize emotion research, making it more rigorous and respectful of human diversity.
