Information about the CoVidAffect project that we launched during the Covid-19 lockdown to monitor real-time mood variations in the Spanish territory.
In a complex world is it always meaningful to ask why?
As I make my way through an ocean of stimuli and experiences I observe the subtle changes in my mood and try to explain where they come from and what is causing them. My mind is hardwired to look for causes in a linear way. Big emotions are caused by dramatic life events while minor mood changes can have less significant origins, such as something I ate yesterday or an approaching project deadline. This hunt for external causes keeps my mind busy and the conversations with friends going, but is it always meaningful?
