Abstract EN
Objective.
Attempts to understand the emotion have evolved from the perspective of an independent cognitive system of the mind to that of an interactive response involving the body.
This study aimed to quantify and visualize relationships between different emotions and bodily organ systems from the perspective of East Asian medicine.
Methods.
Term frequency-inverse document frequency (tf-idf) method was used to quantify the significance of Five Viscera and the gallbladder relative to seven different emotions through the classical medical text of DongUiBoGam.
Bodily organs that corresponded to different emotions were visualized using a body template.
Results.
The emotions had superior tf-idf values with the following bodily organs: anger with the liver, happiness with the heart, thoughtfulness with the heart and spleen, sadness with the heart and lungs, fear with the kidneys and the heart, surprise with the heart and the gallbladder, and anxiety with the heart and the lungs.
Specific patterns between the emotions and corresponding bodily organ systems were identified.
Conclusion.
The present findings will further the current understanding of the relationship between the mind and body from the perspective of East Asian medicine.
Western medicine characterizes emotional disorders using “neural” language while East Asian medicine uses “somatic” language.
