Question
Chapter 49, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The benefits and problems of technology that can scan the brain activity to detect an individual’s particular emotions and thought processes.
Introduction:
Emotions generation and their experience depend upon many brain structures such as amygdala, hippocampus and parts of the thalamus. Several approaches are available to scan the brain activity such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It is possible to scan the emotions and thought process from outside of the body.

If the mind is not included in the set of things considered to be physical, then this would mean that the mind is non-physical and therefore distinct from the physical brain. Is it possible that there are non physical components of reality and can the mind be different from the physical brain?

- Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled The Man With Two Brains to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can.
