DESCRIPTION:2-4pm. A two hour-programme of activities exploring the Why\,
  What and How of emotions.\n\nHave you ever wondered why we have emotion
 s? Have you ever experienced an emotion and wanted to hide it? Have you 
 ever wondered how our brains and our bodies are involved in our emotions
 ? If so\, come along to this free interactive event which is being hoste
 d as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences and explore your emoti
 ons as you never have before!\n\nWho is the event run by? The event is b
 eing run by members of the EROS research group who have been studying di
 fferent aspects of emotional experience including how people control and
  change their emotions. Who can come to the event? The event is suitable
  for everyone - children\, teenagers and adults alike! So come along and
  have a go at the following activities:\n\nHow good is your poker face? 
 Explore whether you can persuade your face to display one emotion while 
 you actually feel a different emotion. Will other people be able to gues
 s how you’re feeling or will you be able to trick them with your ‘poker 
 face?’\n\nHow can we influence emotions? See whether a psychologist can 
 change your emotions using the power of music. Play a game that requires
  you to control your emotions and see if you can use your body to alter 
 how you feel.\n\nHow are the brain and the body involved in emotions? Di
 scover how the brain and the body’s response to emotion can be recorded 
 and see how different parts of the body work together during emotional e
 xperience.\n\nHow does it feel to be a winner? Discover the emotions tha
 t an athlete feels and learn the mental techniques involved in being a w
 inner. What are emotions for anyway? Find out why we have emotions\, how
  they impact on our everyday lives\, and how they help us.\n\nOk sounds 
 fun… but who are the EROS group? The EROS group is a team of psychologis
 ts from five universities in the UK. They conduct research into how and 
 why people manage their own and other people’s emotions. They explore em
 otion regulation in sport\, in the workplace\, in children\, in people w
 ith mental health difficulties\, in relationships and in the brain! For
