Lisa Barrett

I'm Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, neuroscientist and psychologist at Northeastern University, with appointments at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. I study how the brain constructs emotions.

I'm the author of How Emotions Are Made and Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain, and am in the top 0.1% most cited scientists in the world.

Ask me about: how emotions work, the brain, my books, or the science of feelings.
