Human perception begins in the senses, but it is in the brain that it gains emotional meaning and in the face that it becomes visible, argues Prof. Freitas-Magalhães, the world's leading expert for Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Psychology and the Encyclopedia of Human Behavior, by Elsevier, Oxford, in his pioneering and extraordinary book on the five human senses. In this book, the author proposes an integrative scientific approach that reveals how vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch constitute the neurobiological paths through which the brain interprets the world and organizes the emotional experience. Each sense is analyzed as part of a complex system of perception, memory, emotion and human communication. Integrating the pioneering theories Facial Brain Theory, Survival Triangle Theory, Neurocultural Theory and Face Mirror Theory, the book presents an innovative perspective on the relationship between the brain, emotion and facial expression, demonstrating that the face is the point of convergence where the emotional activity of the brain becomes observable. The book also explores the scientific contribution of the F-M Facial Action Coding System (F-M FACS 6.0) for the analysis of facial expression triggered by sensory stimuli, as well as the role of neuromicroexpressions, fast and involuntary manifestations that reveal the immediate emotional response of the brain to the world perceived by the senses. Between neuroscience, medicine, psychology and culture, The Five Senses: Brain, Face and Emotion offers a new understanding of the sensory architecture of human emotion, showing that feeling is not only perceiving the world, but also transforming perception into emotion and emotion into expression.
