Human emotions mapped for the first time, shows where we feel love, fear and shame

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/173748-human-emotions-mapped-for-the-first-time-shows-where-we-feel-love-fear-and-shame



Researchers in Finland have compiled the first authoritative atlas of “body maps” that detail where we feel emotions. We can now clearly see that happiness actually makes us feel tingly all over, that sadness is felt in the heart, and that depression is characterized by an all-over numbness. It would seem that idioms such as a chest puffed with pride, or cold feet, are very much seated in physiological reality.

happiness is a surprise, though: scientifically we'll have to say "my legs are tingling!"
