MRI has been able to trace specific brain functions, such as emotions and memory, to specific locations on the brain where neurons are firing. How does this affect your impression of deep emotions such as love? Is it technically correct to say that you love someone with all your heart?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether loving someone wholeheartedly is technically correct or not is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which is a scanning technique for creating detailed images of the human body.

Technology that enables to see through an organism’s body or any opaque object is based on spectroscopy of hydrogen atoms in a magnetic field.

Explanation of Solution

Love is unfathomable because it has many ways of perception and different individuals conceive it differently in different time zones and environments. The brain, therefore, responds differently in every individual. The activity of the brain varies from individual to individual. The MRI can detect these activities based on how intense the brain is responding towards a particular stimulus or sense. In a different individual, this intensity would vary. Some will have a mild response and some will respond with a high intensity of interest.

Technically, if one loves someone, then not expecting anything in return from them can be said to be loving wholeheartedly...
