Understanding emotions, behavior, and the nervous system helps people make sense of their lives. When this knowledge can be shared clearly and openly, it becomes something we can all learn from, question, and improve together.

We approach this work with a simple belief:

• Shared knowledge grows stronger. When ideas are accessible, more people can understand, test, and refine them.
• Transparency supports trust. Open methods and visible reasoning allow learning to stay grounded and verifiable.
• Collaboration deepens insight. Progress happens when researchers, practitioners, and individuals can contribute from different perspectives.
• Emotional understanding matters for the future. As technology becomes part of daily life, it is important that emotional knowledge can be understood by both people and the systems we build.

Open science is not about replacing existing work. It is about adding clarity, connection, and continuity, so understanding can keep evolving.

TEG-Blue operates through two complementary platforms:

The .org sustains the open research mission. The .com funds ongoing development and validation studies. Both exist to make emotional intelligence accessible.

"Emotions are biological information about safety and threat, not irrational impulses to be managed or overcome."

This single premise, when applied consistently across individual, relational, institutional, and cultural scales, reveals how living systems organize around perceived safety and threat. TEG-Blue creates a comprehensive map of emotional experience—from how the nervous system registers safety and threat, through identity formation, pattern scaling into social systems, escalation mechanisms, and healing pathways.
