Psychoengineering: Difference between revisions

Humans have two primary systems of acquiring knowledge: [[w:Intuition|intuition]], a fast and unconscious reflex; and [[w:Logical reasoning|logic]], a slow and deliberate process.<ref>{{harvnb|Kahneman|2011|pp=20-23}}</ref> Each of these dual cognitive methods is designed to interface with a specific type of information,<ref>{{harvnb|Darlow|Sloman|2010|pp=1-3}}</ref> and are thus connected to different parts of the brain. The neural circuitry of intuition (the amygdala, basal ganglia and lateral temporal cortex)<ref>{{harvnb|Lieberman|2003|p=7}}</ref> is linked to circuitry related to working memory, motor control, attention, perception, and empathy.<ref>{{harvnb|Ramezanpour|Fallah|2022}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Roozendaal|et al.|2009}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Schacter|et al.|2020}}</ref> Meanwhile, the neural circuitry of reason (anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, and the medial temporal lobe including the hippocampus)<ref>{{harvnb|Lieberman|2003|p=10}}</ref> is linked to circuitry related to long-term memory recall, executive function, and complex decision-making.<ref>{{harvnb|Aharoni|et al.|2013}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Friedman|Robbins|2021}}</ref>
