What are the broad bins of emotions?

Emotions can be categorized into broad bins or categories, depending on how the brain constructs these categories. Lisa Feldman Barrett, in conversation with Andrew Huberman, suggests that our emotional experiences are essentially categories created by the brain. These categories can have different levels of granularity. For instance, the category of 'bad' might include a vast range of sensory and emotional experiences, whereas more specific categories like 'angry' or 'frustrated' might refer to more defined feelings and responses. This categorization process highlights how the brain uses past instances and sensory inputs to label and interpret emotional states 1.
