25. The Feelings Lab - Myths About Emotion Science w/ Dacher Keltner

Join Dr. Alan Cowen, founder of Hume AI, Dr. Dacher Keltner, founding director of the Greater Good Science Center and Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and host Matt Forte as they discuss Myths About Emotion Science. Does the face ‘reveal our emotions’? What does science really say about how people express their feelings? We discuss the real complexity and nuance of facial and vocal expressions, and revisit what Darwin meant when he said that expressions are “purposeless.”

The Feelings Lab, presented by Hume AI, explores the frontier of emotion science and its lessons for creating a more empathic future. We’ll discover how scientists and technologists are integrating empathy into social media tools, robots, digital art, and more, with the goal of building equity and compassion into these ubiquitous AI systems. Each week, join our panel of expert hosts, and emotionally attuned guests, to learn how empathic technologies are shaping the modern world.
