You can also help the channel by checking out one of my favorite neuroscience books! If you're like me though and don't have time for a physical book then consider listening to one of these on Audible. You can get one of these for free by signing up for a free trial. Even if you cancel before the trial is up, our channel still gets some much needed support!

Are you frustrated because you want to read as much as you can but you can never find the time to pick up a book? I noticed as I got older and busier that I was reading less and less every year. Audible was an absolute game changer! I was able to listen to all the books I wanted to and it was all during the down time moments where reading a physical book was impossible (driving my car, doing the dishes, out on a run, working in the yard..). In the last 5 years I've now listened a total of 4 months 20 days and 8 hours and have managed to listen to over 200 books. They do a free trial and give you your first book for free so give it a try and see if you get sucked in like I did.

This is the eleventh lecture in the Cognitive Neuroscience course. Emotion is one of the most complicated and complex of the human cognitive processes. Researchers debate about what the true definition of emotion is and whether it encompasses just the brain activity involved or if it is more diffuse and involves all of the bodily reactions as well. We explore here the different types of ways that the definition of emotion has evolved throughout the history of cognitive neuroscience.
