Elaine Hatfield, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, has been studying love—or what she calls our "intense desire for a complete union with the other"—for the past fifteen years. In 1986 she developed a questionnaire called The Passionate Love Scale (PLS) that measures the feelings and emotions linked to this "extreme psychological state": obsession for the other, desire to know everything about his past and present, idealization, the need to please, to help or to protect the other in any circumstance... In other words, everything (both positive and negative) that gives life to a passionate relationship.

Abstract: That love promotes health surprises few people, yet the scientific study of love and physical health is in its infancy. Because love has many facets and is manifested in many ways, as described here, it was banned from Western science, which insisted on observable and simple independent variables. This article presents data indicating the salutary effects of love on physical health. These data are from several areas-psychology, sociology, medicine, epidemiology, and healing-and together form a foundation for understanding and enhancing love and its effects. Three processes are formulated to explain the health-promoting effects of love: psychophysiologic, psychophysical, and psychosocial/behavioral. Love is described as an energy by virtue of its capacity to produce effects.

A qualitative analysis of emotional effector patterns and their feedback.
Santibanez G, Bloch S
This paper is devoted to the study of the relationship between the subjective component (feelings) and the behavioral aspect of emotions. The following emotions were studied: fear-anxiety, anger-aggression, joy-laughter, love-eroticism, love-tenderness, and sadness-tears. The observations were performed with three different groups of people: patients with anxiety neurosis, students under hypnosis, and drama students. Each emotion was characterized by a specific set of reactions in the respiratory pattern, heart activity, muscular activity, and facial expression. The feelings were correlated with the behavioral patterns and each time the behavioral patterns were interfered with a concomitant modification of the subjectivity component
was observed. The direct performance of the behavioral emotional patterns in the absence of the emotogenic stimulus produced the feeling corresponding to the mimicked emotion. If the subjects were stimulated with an emotogenic stimulus during the direct performance of the behavioral patterns of another emotion, they confessed to have the feeling corresponding to the mimicked emotion, and not to the emotion belonging to the emotogenic stimulus. The role played by the feedback from the effector organs in the determination of the subjective emotional states is discussed.

MRI Brain Scans Show True Love To Be An Intoxicant
By Patricia Reaney
7-5-00
LONDON (Reuters) - For some people it's palpitations, a sense of euphoria and breathlessness. Others say sweaty palms, light-headedness and a gut feeling are sure signs of being truly, madly, deeply in love.
But scientists at University College London now have more concrete proof of whether or not it's the real thing -- brain scans. They have shown that the first flushes of true love produce visible changes in the brains of people that can be seen with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
``We looked at the activity in their brain produced by a picture of the person they love,'' Semir Zeki, a professor of neurobiology, said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
``There are four small areas of the brain in which activity goes up and that increase correlates with their viewing of the picture of the person they are in love with.''
Zeki and his colleague Andreas Bartels gave MRI scans to 16 volunteers who said they were in love. Lie detector tests were also used as an objective means of confirming their feelings.
Each volunteer was shown a picture of their beloved and a photograph of a friend whom they had known for a similar period of time.
Whenever a picture of the loved one was shown it produced chemical changes in the brain that were not active when they were shown pictures of friends. The changes were clear-cut in each volunteer whenever they looked on the image of the one they loved.
``The emotional state is generated by activity in these parts of the brain,'' Zeki explained.
``These parts of the brain are also the parts which are active in euphoric states generated by exogenous substances such as cocaine. Romantic love is to for many people, at any rate, intoxicating.''
The scientists presented their findings at a conference of European neuroscientists and have submitted the research for publication in a peer-review journal.

Effect of love is none other than the effect of coherence
Because embedding creates phase sorting centering force
Lo-phi (love). When the nest of electrical and sound pressure fields around the heart converge in golden mean ratio wave nests, then unlimited information transfer between worlds can cascade. Waves find this arithmetic and geometric heterodyne or beat note non-interference pattern, most touch permissive. EL-(the turn or phase shift) (in)LO-(frequnecy)PHI-(ratio). The PHI or golden mean ratio has been found in the frequency between harmonics of the heart at the moment of
sending love, and (in the "Sentics" measurements of emotion) in the ratio of the moment of maximum pressure in the shape of the hug or squeeze you give to send love. The soft V sound in love suggests the fiveness from whose square root PHI is derived, and from which the wave softness or touchability of love radiates. see.. Heterophi

"HeartBeat" was premiered in 1983 with former Twyla Tharp principal dancer Sara Rudner and jazz saxophonist Stan Strickland. Placed on a performer's chest and amplified through filters and a sound system designed by Janney, this machine provides an unusual percussion track.

The BRAIN OPERA is an interactive, musical journey into your mind, to be presented simultaneously in physical and cyber space!
Created by acclaimed composer Tod Machover and his team at the M.I.T. Media Laboratory, the BRAIN OPERA was a first-of-its-kind musical experience that included contributions from both on-line participants and live audiences.
Anyone who wanted to express ideas, experiences, and feelings in music and sounds was able help create the Brain Opera and participate in the live performances. People of all backgrounds were welcome -- we wanted musical inspiration and input from Mozart buffs, grunge rock fans, John Cage devotees, rappers, Verdi lovers, Deadheads...anyone who enjoys music.
The Brain Opera toured worldwide from 1996-1998 (Europe, Asia, United States, South America), and has since been updated and expanded, including the addition of an entirely new culminating experience, the Future Music Blender. This definitive version of the Brain Opera will be permanently installed in Vienna, Austria in July 2000, at the new House of Music.
