Neuromarketing helps marketers uncover emotional responses to different marketing stimuli. But what are emotions? The Experts in Emotion series provides a unique opportunity to explore the mysteries of human emotion guided by some of the world’s foremost experts on the subject, ranging from distinguished academics to leading figures behind social media services like Facebook. In addition to tackling central questions such as what emotions are, why we have them, and how our understanding of them can lead to happier and healthier lives. You’ll also hear first-hand about what first led these key players to study emotion and what they see as the most exciting frontiers ahead.

The Expert in Emotion Interview series (Human Emotion Course) is part of a broader educational mission to share the study of human emotion beyond the walls of the classroom, to reach students and teachers alike, both locally and globally, through the use of technology. This mission is generously supported by, and in collaboration with, the Yale Office of Digital Dissemination and the Yale College Dean’s Office.
