Neurobiology and football.
O The football fever still goes on. Why?
O Even if you don’t like it when you spend some minutes watching a game (football, soccer) this lead you to feel exciment, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the rules.
O Once you start watching a game it is difficult to stop or change the TV channel.

Neurobiology and football.
O This could be explained by the embodied emotions.
O When we put attention to the game the images in our retina travels to the thalamus and reach the visual cortex.
O In the cortex, we identify cues about the emotion experienced by the players.

Neurobiology and football.
O When we identify this emotions , we imitate them and have an insight of the players feelings.
O These lead us to experiment a bit of excitment about what we are seeing.
O Then, we can say that we are experimenting an embodied emotion that comes from watching the game.

Neurobiology and football.
O So, this makes us harder to watch anything else because we start to release serotonine, norepinephrine and another substancies that make us feel good.

Neurobiology and football.
O This course helps me to understand that I am not a «victim» of the
publicity and I don’t have football fever.
O It is just because my brain and my body imitates what the players feel
and it makes me feel the same.
O Thank you very much Professor Peggy Mason PhD.
