Contributions of Affective Neuroscience to the Consciential Paradigm

Resumo

This paper is the result of a partial analysis of larger ongoing research. This author’s specialty is the study of emotions in the context of human relationships, and this was the motivating factor for the beginning of this work. The specific objective of this paper is to present a comparison between information contained in the treatise Projectiology (Vieira, 1999) on emotions and feelings and information from recent research in the field of neuroscience. It is considered that the objective of this study was achieved, and also that knowledge presented in the treatise was highlighted, surpassed by recent neuroscientific research. However, there is still much to be studied in the field of emotions and their relationships with the holosoma, especially regarding the action of the psychosoma. It is understood that it is of great importance to include new discoveries from affective neuroscience in consciential self-research, with the aim to expand and update the verpons on the holosoma.
