"Green is defined as the colour seen when the light used
ranges from 495 - 515 angstrom units in wave length. For
emotions we still lack an analogue to the wave theory of
light." |
What is an emotion?
Is there an external entity -- some fundamental, elemental,
measurable aspect of outer reality -- that is linked to
each primary subjective feeling ?
Could there be a causal train which begins with a
perturbation of this aspect of outer reality and ends with
an internal subjective feeling?
Could dysregulation in such a causal train-- dysregulation in any of
its beginning, middle or end mechanisms -- be a common denominator in
the etiology of certain aspects of DSM IV disorders?
Could the controlled calibrated experimental use of the
originating process of such a causal chain --a
measurable aspect of fundamental reality -- be harnessed
to trace the pathways of psychobiological mechanisms in the etiology
of Affective Disorders, Schizophrenias and Anxiety Disorders, and to
probe the comparative efficacies of biopsychological interventions
?

this web site proposes, describes and provides evidence for a unique
medical hypothesis of emotions :
