I'm doing my research project on The Neuroplasticity of Happiness and the following paragraph is what I submitted for approval. (you're only allowed one paragraph)
When considering happiness, is there only so much of an aggregate total of happiness vs. despair, at any given time, such that the proliferation of one will necessarily diminish the influence of the other? In the realm of mathematics this type of situation is known as a Zero Sum Game. Neuroplasticity deals with the brains ability to change and adapt according to its circumstances and given a finite amount of brain tissue to work with then the zero sum game theory may be plausibly adapted to the neuroplasticity of happiness concept. This paper will explore that notion and consider concepts such as an individual's capacity for happiness at any given time, the duality of polar spectrum opposite emotions co-existing or merely fluctuating and if there are emotional thresholds that must be breached in order to experience any given emotion in the first place, much like the way some theories explain how people perceive pain.
other than that I was just trying to get a grasp of what the next few days hold. Lots to do :)

Cool. How many words does your research need to be? And how long do you have to do it?
