Emotion processing is a research area that focuses on understanding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to emotions. This includes studying how emotions are generated, expressed, recognized, and regulated, as well as the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying these processes. Researchers in this field use a variety of methodologies, such as neuroimaging, behavioral experiments, and psychophysiological measures, to investigate how emotions influence behavior, decision-making, social interactions, and mental health. Emotion processing research is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, psychiatry, and other related fields to advance our understanding of the complexities of human emotions.
