It addresses an experiment by psychologist and neuroscientist Lera Borodistky regarding psychological differences between individuals who operate under an ego-moving perspective and those who use a time-moving perspective. The storage and process of spatial and temporal information in the brain is explored. Other topics addressed include the role of simultaneity in brain processes, the relationship between subjectivity and perception, and connections in the ways the brain processes time, space, and the feelings and perspectives of others. The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), a section of the brain, is examined for its use in allowing humans to empathize. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of American Scholar is the property of Phi Beta Kappa Society and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
