What is the basis of human emotion?
Kristen Lindquist, PhD., is a social and affective neuroscientist studying how emotions and social behavior arise from the dynamic interplay of brain, body, and culture. She holds the Robert K. and Dale J. Weary Chair in Social Psychology at The Ohio State University, where she is Professor of Psychology and a faculty member in the Social Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience areas. By combining social cognition, psychophysiology, functional neuroimaging, and large-scale data science, her work investigates how conceptual knowledge, social context, and physiological states shape affective experience across development. Work in her Affective Science Lab examines how emotions emerge from the confluence of the brain, body, and cultural learning. Read more about Dr. Lindquist.
