Abstract: Abstract Generally speaking, our understanding of the physiology of emotions is more advanced than our understanding of the physiology of self-awareness or cognition. Not only are we able to identify specific neurotransmitters, such as hormones, and their purpose, we can very accurately alter most of them using cognitive methods, pharmaceutical methods, surgical methods, or combinations. For example, positive psychology is an entire field dedicated to researching methods of improving emotional states by manipulating our brain’s tendency to perpetuate a repeated emotional experience. Still, there are many unanswered questions, more mysteries than answers, and all this indicates vast potential for enhancing our understanding applicable to psychological operations in conflict.
