ⓘ About Lisa Feldman Barrett
Barrett’s work has demonstrated that emotions can be constructed flexibly through the dynamic interaction of many networks in the brain rather than simple circuits. Emotions are also not universal but culturally relative, context sensitive rather than being expressed in the typical facial expressions, behaviors and autonomic nervous system changes. Making use of cross-cultural field studies of the Hadza and Himba of Africa, brain scanning, laboratory experiments, ambulatory physiological monitoring, and experience sampling, her discoveries are the foundation for understanding how what is fundamentally a singular brain architecture can result in such varied human minds. Feldman Barrett works at Northeastern University as a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology.
