We all know emotion heavily depends on the sensations from within our body but much less is known as to how other cognitive domains such as Language interact with our embodied emotions. In this study, we investigate the neural basis upon which Language can link the psychological to the somatic by functionally mapping visceral language (e.g., 'heart fell apart', 'stomach turned over') in the brain. We presented the findings at the 5th GP-DS Data Science Cafe and gathered new perspectives from data science researchers. (Sunny)
