EmoLab at JBNU · 전북대학교 정서연구실

Understanding affective representations in minds, brains, and machines.

We study how affective experience is structured across people, sensory modalities, biological systems, and artificial intelligence, and develop multivariate methods to make those structures visible.

WHAT WE STUDY

Research themes

Our work is organized around durable scientific questions in affective science.

01

Affective Representation

How emotions and affective experiences are organized across sensory modalities, individuals, tasks, and stimulus domains.

02

Multivariate Methods

Developing and applying methods that treat psychological patterns, geometry, and relational structure as primary scientific objects.

03

Brain & Physiology

Studying affect with neuroimaging and psychophysiological measures, with emphasis on multivariate structure and generalization.

04

Humans & Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Comparing human and artificial representational systems and using modern AI systems in psychological research.
