Résumé :
|
Emotion and Reason presents a groundbreaking new approach to understanding decision making processes and their neural bases. The book examines the brain mechanisms involved in making decisions, and controversially proposes that many of our perceptual actions are essentially decision making processes. Berthoz also considers how many decision making processes involve an internal dialogue with our other self, and how this dialogue might be represented in the brain. He considers the important implications that a neuroscience of decision making can have for the judiciary with discussion of the growing field of neuroeconomics and for theories of management. Lastly he examines decision making and creativity. Written by a neuroscientist of international fame and accessible for both scientists and non-scientists, this book is the most exhaustive examination of the science of decision making yet.
