This Great Graphic was posted on NPR's website at the end of last year. It maps out where people said they felt different emotions.
A Finnish psychologist Lauri Nummenmaa led a study; asking people to think of 14 emotions and then identify the part(s) of the body that felt stimulated and the part(s) of the body that felt deactivated by the emotion.
Of course, not every one's map was the same, but when the maps were averaged out, a common emotion signature was found, seemingly consistent across cultures in their West European and East Asian sample.
