In recent years, neurologists have noticed that college students are experiencing in some way or another a sensation known as hyper emotions (HEs). HEs are extreme sensations of happiness (typically very rare), stress, anger, irritation and much more. They were initially thought to come in the form of a wave that enters the body during exam weeks and project deadlines. However, the latest research in emotive radioryanfluidation has given the scientific community a new perspective on HEs. HEs are in fact receptors located in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. When the body is exposed to a certain concentration of intense emotions, the Bethanase receptors are activated and the body’s emotional state rises.

Hyper emotions have been extremely prevalent in generation Z, a collective group of individuals born between 1997 and the early 2000s (Dimock). Some researchers have claimed that the overwhelming presence of technology at home, classroom and the workplace is the reason for such a high concentration of hyper emotions. Others say that parental expectations and living up to social media standards are the cause of such a high accumulation in generation Z brains. However, many researchers have failed to notice the hyper emotion inducing board games popularized at the turn of the 21st century. We are not referring to games such as chess and monopoly. Such games are inherently strategic or even have premeditated mistrust (Banner et. al). The simple game of Uno is deceptive. Though it is generally thought of as a form of entertainment, Uno not only engenders competitiveness and teamwork, but also a sense of rivalry and animosity. Some scientists have studied the first half of this problem, claiming that Uno can raise the IQ in children who play it regularly (Possible and Stoppable). None have yet to study the impact of Uno on EQ. Therefore there is a need to further examine this card game as it is a prevalent influence on individuals of generation Z.

In the following research, we will explore how Uno acts as a predictor and assessor of interpersonal relationships by measuring emotional state using the fMRI, nonverbal communications, and polygraph tests.
