It just doesn't mean very much at that level and is a gross generalization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22031270.post-1150692875336784162006-06-19T14:54:00.000+10:002006-06-19T14:54:00.000+10:00I think a basic idea of neouroscience is that diff...I think a basic idea of neouroscience is that different parts of the brain are responsible for different types of thinking and that the cortex regions are respondsible for rational, planned thinking while parts of the mid brain are responsible for impulsive and emotional thinking. I am a long way from my areas of expertise so I will chase up your reference to 'global processing'. <BR/><BR/>Economists are modelling dual self models that capture this dichotomy - hence this distinction. We are planning joint work with people oin neuroscience. <BR/><BR/>I'll change the TMS acronymn.
