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. 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. She holds the endowed Robert K. and Dale J. Weary Chair in Social Psychology at The Ohio State University, where she is Professor of Psychology, a faculty member in the Social and Cognitive Neuroscience areas, and on the Steering Committee of the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging.
