Emorationaity

Are rational? Emotional? or Both...

Read the full transcript:
"...thanks to brain imaging – you know, this technique that allows these beautiful, 3D images of the brain – we showed that basically, those so-called rational and emotional parts of the brain are exchanging information on a constant basis in a very interdependent fashion, and there is not such a dichotomy at the biological level. Hence we're more working along a more hybrid system that I coined emorationality – meaning that it's impossible at the biological level to make such a clear distinction."

Interesting piece.
