How Emotions Are Made — The Predictive Brain and the Construction of Emotion
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett as a systems-level analysis of how the predictive brain constructs emotional experience.
Rather than reacting automatically to external events, the brain continuously interprets bodily sensations using memory, culture, and learned emotional concepts. This predictive architecture explains why consistent biological “fingerprints” for emotions have never been found — and why emotional experience varies across individuals and societies.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than instinct, the episode reveals how emotional perception emerges from prediction, learning, and culture.
