When a team of scientists in Finland asked people to map out where they felt different emotions on their bodies, they found that the results were surprisingly consistent, even across cultures.

So which part of your body gets hot (red) or goes cold (blue) when shown this picture?

Now compare that body image to the silhouettes below and see how it matches up with a specific emotional state from the study.
Lauri Nummenmaa, Enrico Glerean, Riitta Hari, and Jari Hietanen.
My right index finger.
All I know is when I see a picture like that ‘Mr. Happy’ sez “Either you let me ‘turtle’ in, or me & ‘the boys’ are gonna detach & run away….screaming!”
…and…do we really trust the Finns?
Yup, quite hot in the head, mildly cold in the groin. I fit right into their model: contempt.
Heck man, I went BLIND!!!!
My brain gets hot with anger.
I read a study recently where angry people are more likely to have a stroke. I believe the Mooch is well over due for one.
The Finns forgot LIMP.
My butt puckers
and both my middle fingers start twitching
similar to my reaction to seeing that alien in that old Arnold movie predator. You are one ugly…. I think that was his line
Well, raise my rent, I must be the happiest son of a gun on the planet because I am ALWAYS hot and ALWAYS sweating like a pig.
Question: did the study include menopausal women?
Does it count as hot if my stomach feels nauseated?
“So which part of your body gets hot (red) or goes cold (blue) when shown this picture?”
Within seconds of peering at this photo of IT, my head started hurting, and my stomach began turning. After a minute or so, I felt my head swell with fever–my nose and ears started bleeding, and a greenish/yellowish mucous drooled from my mouth coming up like acid from my abdomen area. Five minutes into this horror, my feet swelled almost twice their size; I had to rip off my slippers than were ripping at the seams. I wasted myself in my chair with the most God awful mixture of diarrhea and urine.
I managed to call 911; they’ll be here soon. Now if I could just manage getting to the door; I hate to see them break it down, I just put on new hinges. I can hardly see now. Are these my legs? Boy, I must have gained a lot weight; they won’t move. Well, that raps it up for me after ten minutes of staring at Fatass. Send me a card in the hospital. If I’m not in their morgue.
Total “Disgust”.
And I’m way past hot flashes, so I know this reaction is real!
Good thing I reproduced when I was younger because after viewing that picture I think I’m sterile now.
Dat one nasty lookin bundle of rage and hate.
Dan Ryan Galt, Dude, I had no idea you were into animal husbandry. LOL
I once saw a highway sign that read “Newark 15 miles”. I think Michelles’ pic had the same effect on me.
When it’s with moucelle, it’s at “wifepoint.”
Could not resist using that great new word.
When I see that picture, I feel my life draining out of my body.
What color would that be?
