(University of Göttingen) Everyday objects and people have an emotional meaning. A wool sock might have an emotional value if it was the last thing grandmother knitted before her death. The same applies to words. A stranger's name has no emotional value, but if a loving relationship develops, the name suddenly has positive connotations. Researchers at the University of Göttingen investigated how the brain processes such stimuli -- positive or negative. Results were published in the journal Neuropsychologia.
