Invitation To A Brain Scan For Sharon Stone
July 4, 2008
Promoting emotional intelligence with neurophilosophy?
Animal rights group PETA has offered Sharon Stone a free brain scan in an effort to see if her lack of empathy is the result of a physical defect in her brain.
This is, quite obviously, a publicity stunt. But research does indeed suggest that moral decision-making is impaired in patients with damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
Fortunately for all of us, absent physical damage, EQ and empathy can be infinitely developed with practice.
