What Can (and Can’t) the Brain Tell Us About Our Digital Emotions?

senecor

In recent years, brain-based metrics have become increasingly popular across digital health, marketing, and immersive technologies. Neuro and biometric thecniques such EEG, GSR, eye tracking and facial coding are no longer confined to labs—they’re now being used to test everything from meditation apps to virtual retail experiences. But amidst this neuro-data boom, one fundamental question still lacks a clear answer:

How far can neurophysiological data truly go in helping us understand emotions—especially in digital environments?

Neurofeedback: learning to unlock the brain’s self-regulating ability

senecor

Have you noticed that some of our actions or behaviors are not carried out consciously? The truth is that we are not fully aware of everything that happens inside our brain like all the connections triggered when an emotion or thought suddenly appears in our mind. Instead, we know that the major brain activity is highly driven by both, internal biological signals linked to the autonomous system and external cues coming from the environment. Apparently, all these brain activity generators are beyond our conscious control. But is this really the case?

How consciousness is represented in the brain?

senecor

Humans have the ability to learn and interact with the world being aware of their own experience.  This knowledge about one´s awareness is called “metacognition” and it is one of the major characteristics that differentiate humans from other species. But, what are the brain mechanisms underlying consciousness?  How does the brain create different consciousness states?  Modern Neuroscience has investigated these questions for centuries, but yet we have no idea how consciousness arises in the brain. Although brain technology has hugely progressed in the last decades, for researchers is very difficult to study conscious experiences because they are entirely subjective and cannot be accessed by others. Thus, measuring consciousness in experimental conditions it is almost impracticable without getting contaminated by subjective biases.
