Dear Terry
Damasio might do much better if he was involved with experts - people who have emotions as part of their explicit profession. At the moment his work takes brain damaged people as his focus - in a few places he is surprised, quite happily, by people who can turn emotions off and on - but generally he shows little inclination for working in such areas.
The evidence of parts of the brain being damaged is fascinating but not of that much use for us "normals"?
all the best

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for an insightful message. Seems to me that most design 'creativity' methods are priming techniques? Damasio appears to go a long way to explaining*the feeling-cognition loops likely to be the ways these are actualised.*
Best wishes,
Terry
