Sure, it isn’t fundamentally impossible – much like psychosomatic healing of some diseases isn’t impossible if you are a Tibetan yogi.
It’s nontrival but it doesn’t take being a Tibetan yogi. Grinberg practioners do that pretty reliable in a Western setting.
Yet we often say “don’t be sad,” or “stop being angry” and even ascribe blame to it – somehow assuming that they are free to change this just by willing.
That’s not a sentiment I hear often. I don’t think that it’s within the social context where I’m operating to often say those things. The last time I said something similar it was to a person who had a strong meditation background and it got her out of a depressive phase in which she was the prior two months.
With such technology, we could no longer lie to others, or to ourselves, about what we really care about and want in life, who we love, what job we enjoy doing, and what gives us the subtle gnawing feeling of wrongness we’d rather not see.
Those things are much more complex then just emotions. If you want to stop lying to yourself about those things belief reporting from Leverage research is more useful then such a tool would be.
I’m not up to date with the current technological capabilities but a decade ago we had objective emotional measurement via sensors that was good enough to be useful for advertisers. High resolution heartrate + skin conductance + machine learning goes far.
I personally have emotional perception of base emotions in other people that’s does not depend on seeing someone’s face. It doesn’t work when the emotion is disassociated but I don’t think there’s an easy way to conceal.

That’s awesome
