"Most people, including many scientists, believe that emotions are distinct, locatable entities inside us — but they’re not."
Hmmm, smells like a straw-man. What kind of scientists? Biologists? Chemists? Cosmologists? And how exactly does the author know this? A recent survey of published papers? TV shows? An informal questionnaire? Maybe the author will get to it later.
"My lab analyzed over 200 published studies, covering nearly 22,000 test subjects, and found no consistent and specific fingerprints in the body for any emotion. Instead, the body acts in diverse ways that are tied to the situation."
