Emotions--thinking vs. feeling brains

Emotions and the Brain – Or How to Master “The Force”Do you like science fiction? Have you heard of, or are you even a fan of, the iconic ‘Star Wars’ series? To summarize, there are rebels, emperors, princesses, robots and many more fabulous creatures. There is also a power source called ‘The Force’. It is used by the Jedi’s (the good ones), but also by the dark side (the evil ones). Only the dark side uses the destructive power of ‘The Force’ which exists based on negative emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy or hate. A Jedi masters ‘The Force’, and uses it for knowledge and defense by learning to control their emotions. Our research also looks at emotions and how to control them. We know that in our galaxy too, we have more success when we can control our feelings. Therefore, we want to find brain regions responsible for emotion processing and regulation and help those children struggling.
