This Picture Maps Emotions On Your Body. Love and Happiness Are The Warmest (and probably the most addicting)

This Picture Maps Emotions On Your Body. Love and Happiness are the most stimulating--(and probably why the most addicting). 

NPR
Hot colors show regions that people say are stimulated during the emotion. Cool colors indicate deactivated areas.

The team showed the volunteers two blank silhouettes of person on a screen and then told the subjects to think about one of 14 emotions: love, disgust, anger, pride, etc. The volunteers then painted areas of the body that felt stimulated by that emotion. On the second silhouette, they painted areas of the body that get deactivated during that emotion.
