Summary:

"The Affect Lab examines the use of measurement tools to argue that research on emotions has confused the physiology of emotion with the tools that define its inscription. Offering a new critique of affect and affect theory, Grant Bollmer demonstrates how deferrals to psychology and neuroscience in contemporary theory and philosophy neglect the material of experimental, scientific research"-- Provided by publisher.
