Project description
New tool to help us understand and manage emotions
Mastering the intricate tapestry of emotions is not just a skill, but the very heartbeat of human existence. With this in mind, the ERC-funded E-Virt project will explore emotional expressions, a vital aspect of daily life for both humans and great apes, which is far more intricate and nuanced than previously thought. Researchers will delve into the fundamental knowledge of emotions, studying the neurophysiological mechanisms, development, and evolution of emotional expressions. E-Virt’s overall vision is to bridge the gap between academic research and real-life applications. By harnessing the insights gained, the project aims to develop a virtual reality training tool, which will benefit the general public and offer valuable support to clinical populations.
Objective
The ERC starting grant project CoPAN (804582) is an innovative, interdisciplinary cross-boundary project. In the project, we study the function, underlying neurophysiological mechanisms, development and evolution of emotional expressions, which has shown us that emotions play a pivotal role in daily life in humans and great apes alike. We also show that emotional expressions in real life are more complex than the acted expressions used in emotion research or applications. I here propose to build on the fundamental knowledge and develop a virtual reality training tool targeting the broader public and clinical populations.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
