Summary: "'Sentics' reveals how emotions are communicated in daily life and in music, painting and sculpture. It is a revolutionary, new scientific discipline which examines the biological basis of emotion. Its discoverer, Dr. Manfred Clynes, is the inventor of the Sentograph, an ingenious device which measures emotional responses through the fingertips. Clynes' research has also uncovered genetically programmed brain and nervous system patterns for such basic emotional states as joy, anger, hate, grief and love. Moreover he has developed the so-called "Sentic Cycles", an exercise technique for the emotions, which anyone can learn and which can lead to a profound sense of well-being." -- book cover.
