Abstract
The characteristic affects such as anger, fear, loneliness, desire, love and playful joy make emotions so important in our lives, and perhaps the lives of many other animals. Still, affect is such a slippery brain process, more easily discussed from first than third person perspectives, that there is little agreement on how to create a solid science of affective experience. Science is much better positioned to study objective entities of the world as opposed to subjective entities of the brain. Only because of advances in brain research, as highlighted in this issue, is progress finally being made on that slippery topic. (Netherlands Journal of Psychology, 64, 128-131.)
