In this engaging discussion, Daniel Cordaro, an emotion researcher and psychologist, delves into the power of intuition. He explains somatic markers and their crucial role in decision-making, emphasizing how emotions can often guide us faster than logic. Cordaro also shares insights on where these emotional shortcuts are stored in the brain, particularly in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Through a fascinating card-deck experiment, he reveals how our bodies can react to decisions before we even become consciously aware of them.
