hmmm..
ok.. found this theory while browsing around with PUA stuff... ko mesti tau la Agul... haha

This theory divide our brain to 3 sections


- Reptile Brain (most primitive brain-the first brain in evolution process), Deal with physical response, fight or flight. Found on most reptiles
- Intermediate Brain (second layer brain in evolution), Deal with Emotions. (more big portions on social organism - elephant, monkey)
- Neocortex Brain - Deal with rational. SO far only HUman have this layer of brain.

the rest sambung nanti k.

Agul

pua stuff, good to know but not good for others to know that we know...

Allright. waiting for more..

Firstable, Brain govern our unconscious and concious activity..

According to this theory, Reptile brain have the most control over action, followed by intermediate brain and lastly neocortex..

As an example.. Fight of flight response, when human subjected to the real danger, i.e facing roaring tiger, they will choose either to fight or flight, it activates our most ancient brain (reptile brain) and greatly influence other brain by feeling fear in the intermediate brain and thinking where and how to run on logical brain (neocortex)

Basically speaking, according to this theory, the strongest influence come from

1) Reptile Brain (strongest)
2) Intermediate Brain (strong)
3) Logical Brain (weak) - can be train to be stronger through under certain condition

continue next time..
