Abstract
Cognitive Psychology, with a
group of brain scientists and sophisticated
technology, has been
successful in explaining many
obscurities that persisted along
with human intelligence. One
such episode is the concept of
emotional dissonance where substitute
feelings prevent the authentic
feelings to make human
life flourish. After providing a
generic view in the anatomy of
emotions, a case oriented approach
is taken for detailing the
intricacies involved in the substitute
emotional shield. The famous
Conditioning effect to the most
recent concept of Neuro Plasticity
has been explored to investigate
this plastic feeling. The possibility
of using the advancements
in brain science in restructuring
the neural networks, which stand
as an impediment to emotional
intelligence, is also considered in
the article.
