The Language of Emotions
The autonomic nervous system is constantly adjusting our level of alertness and calmness. If i'm sleepy, and it's time to fall asleep, great. That's a great place to be. But if i'm so alert that i'm panicking and i can't control my behavior, that's not a great placeto be. Now, this is very coarse language to get at emotions, but it's the kind of thing that we can measure in the laboratory. And now, using various technology, we can even measure this sort of thing while people are out of the laboratory.
