Even if we were able to get good readings from insula & cingulate cortex & amygdala et alia, do you have thoughts on how and whether we could “ground” these readings? Would we calibrate on someone’s cringe signal, then their gross signal, then their funny signal—matching various readings to various stimuli and subjective reports?
In principle, I think different reactions should project to different subcortical structures (e.g. the hypothalamus has lots of little cell groups that look different and do different things, I think). In practice, I dunno, I guess what you said sounds about right.
