This piece was seemingly about the words we use to describe emotions but behind it is a discussion about what makes them harder to study than other brain functions. From a philosophy of science perspective, it's a fascinating (measurement) problem!

www.thetransmitter.org/the-big-pict...
Understanding the debate around terms in emotion research requires appreciating why emotions are more challenging to study than other brain functions. To investigate memory, for example, researchers often design a memory test for which there are ground-truth correct and incorrect answers to the questions posed. In contrast, emotion is a subjective experience for which there is no ground truth—no one but you really knows how happy, anxious, scared or disgusted you are. This subjectivity makes emotions much more difficult to measure than other brain functions, especially in animals, because we cannot ask them how they feel. The most extensively used measure of emotions is applied by simply asking people questions about their feelings, such as: “On a scale from 1 to 5, how upset are you?”. However, measures of subjective experience are limited to humans who can communicate and cannot be applied to nonhuman animals or young children. A second type of emotion measure probes biological reactions triggered by emotions, including facial expressions or galvanic skin responses; often, however, these responses do not map cleanly onto subjective reports. Other versions of physiological measures seek to quantify how emotions are reflected in dynamic patterns of brain activity (or their proxies, such as fMRI results). A final way to measure emotion is to induce an emotion and measure how it changes a person’s behavior on a well-defined task, such as a paradigm for risky decision-making. These different ways of measuring emotions set the stage for debates about what these measures should be called, centered around the evidence they provide.
