PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -According to cognitive neuroscientists, we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity, so most of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behavior depends on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain also has the capacity for self-awareness, ie, awareness that one has certain cognitive and mental processes. Cognition or thought, traditionally at the “highest level” of cognitive functioning (eg, deductive reasoning), involves the synthesis of the above-listed components.

Detailed explanation-3: -The human brain has no such limitations. It is an open, parallel-processing system continu-ally interacting with the physical and social worlds outside. It analyzes, integrates, and syn-thesizes information and abstracts generalities from it. Each neuron is alive and altered by its experiences and its environment.
