The Psychology of Emotions: An Introduction to Embodied Cognition

How Body and Mind Recognize Emotions

Watching someone cry or laugh doesn't just register in your mind—your body responds too. This course explores embodied cognition, showing how emotional recognition engages both the nervous system and conscious awareness. You'll examine the neuroscience and psychology of how we understand others' feelings.

Beyond theory, you'll learn to measure emotional understanding itself. If empathy is a core competency, this course gives you the frameworks to assess it scientifically. Valuable for anyone working in psychology, coaching, leadership, or human interaction.
