Oral · Emotion & Motivation: What Drives the Self

This symposium presents evidence that everyday mood fluctuations arise not only from life events but from internal, time-varying reinforcement-learning states. The speakers will present results from a large 4-week mobile experiment including ambulatory EEG/ECG, showing how amplified reward and punishment learning forecast mood changes and illuminate mechanisms of negative emotionality.
