Facial Feedback Theory
It is reported by a group of theories that our feelings of emotions, come from our brain system. When the brain experiences stimulation, it activates organs in the body including those such as the heart and skeletal muscles, including those of the human face. When we see something that scares us, the brain tells us that there is a threat to our lives. The experience of fear sends a message for our heart to beat faster and our face expresses fear. The facial feedback theory says that once the brain detects changes in the face, the individual undergoes emotional feelings. The visceral feedback theory (e.g., feedback from the heart to the brain). Experiencing an emotion, requires two basic elements: visceral arousal and an environmental situation to which one can attribute the visceral change. For example, when one

Based on these medical observations, investigators have advised that the left hemisphere normally mediates positive thoughts (e. g., happiness, joy), while the right hemisphere mediates negative thoughts (e. g., fear, anger, sadness). Injury to one hemisphere disinhibits, or releases from control the other hemisphere.
Based on clinical observations, investigators have suggested that the left hemisphere normally mediates positive emotions (e.g., happiness, joy), while the right hemisphere mediates negative ones (e.g., fear, anger, sadness). Injury to one hemisphere interferes with stimuli and allows control from the other hemisphere.
Although some feelings may be identified by valence (positive and negative) and by the degree of arousal (high and low), both of these factors alone cannot fully clarify the wide range of emotional experiences. For example, anger and fear are both negative in valence and associated with high arousal, however they are nevertheless associated with different experiences or emotions. Thus, other elements must be important in the experience of
