Bitsized "Emotion & Hounds"
You tube video link below⬇️
Emotions are very abstract categories of relational chemical electrical interactions leading to vivid concious states / experiences from actions.
They are very lossy in information- meaning a word like FEAR can mean different things to different individuals depending on the relational interactions of physical features in a moment of time, constrained by the categorical meaning.
There are different types of experiences of fear, but they are different experiences from other categories like joy, eventhough they can feature similar actions. Like "shedding a tear" for example. You my shed a tear in sorrow or sadness, or you shed a tear in joy of seeing and reconnecting with someone. The action is the same, the affective and emotional exoerience is different.
Understanding the complexity of how the brain constantly makes these experiences will give the person behind the lead insight of how to support the individual in front of the lead better, and how to be better at differentiating our anthropomorphic experiences, from thst pf the dogs experience- which we have no direct access to. We are always guessing by using our past, our human knowledge. Its humbling to understand that.
