Open science for emotional technology research

Core Concept

What is Emotional Technology?

Tools and systems that help you measure, understand, and navigate human emotions — with the same clarity we expect from physical or digital technologies.

Like medical tools help diagnose illness, and digital tools organize information, emotional technology helps us:

Recognize

emotional states

Predict

behavioral patterns

Navigate

pathways out of distress

TEG-Blue is the first complete emotional technology system.

It turns invisible emotional patterns into visible, structured, computationally legible tools — for healing, accountability, and emotional safety.

01What

What Emotional Technology Does

Measurement & Recognition

  • Visual scales show position on gradients of empathy, control, accountability
  • Emotional patterns become clear and trackable
  • Abstract dynamics become concrete and usable

Prediction & Prevention

  • Maps how emotional states shift and escalate
  • Flags early warning signs before harm happens
  • Reveals how self-protection can slide into harm

Navigation & Intervention

  • Provides steps back to safety, calm, and clarity
  • Creates shared language for difficult dynamics
  • Tools for de-escalation, repair, and regulation

Pattern Breaking

  • Makes generational trauma patterns visible
  • Explains how protective behaviors become harmful
  • Interrupts cycles — with care, not shame

02Doesn't

Doesn't Replace Therapy. Equips It.

Think of it like an emotional thermometer.

If your body temperature is high, you go to the doctor. If your emotional state shows signs of distress — like fear, defense, or control — you can name it early, and bring that awareness into therapy.

This helps therapists go deeper, faster. It makes their work more effective, more accessible — and more emotionally precise.

03Why

Why 'Emotional Technology'?

We needed a term that didn't already carry the wrong assumptions:

"Emotional intelligence"focuses on skills, not systems
"Mental health tools"frames it as pathology
"SEL"often stops short of trauma, power, and pattern mapping

Emotional technology is a term for emotional tools that are practical, precise, and systemic. Because just like we don't expect people to intuitively know how to code or perform surgery — we shouldn't expect them to navigate complex emotional dynamics without tools.

04Key

Key Vocabulary

To build this field, we created precise language:

Emotional Architecture

The structure of emotional patterns within people, families, and systems

Emotional Wiring

How your nervous system learned to feel, respond, and protect

Emotional Miswiring

Protective patterns that now create harm

Emotional Infrastructure

The larger systems that support — or fail to support — emotional safety
