I think the discussion about the mental and physical interpretation of emotions at the end of lab is definitely worth thinking more about. There’s an interesting oxymoron in the idea of something being mental because it is associated with the brain, a physical part of the body. To try and understand exactly what part of the body is acting upon what in order to express emotions is like figuring out who came first, the chicken or the egg. The answer seems to be indefinite and its why  I’m glad to know that there’s a future lecture/lab that is going to further explore this.
