Crazy Logic
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 27, 2016
From crazy dreams to self-preserving impulses, the human brain reaches all sorts of conclusions for seemingly illogical reasons.
Eliezer Sternberg, a resident neurologist at Yale/New Haven Hospital and the author of NeuroLogic: The Brain's Hidden Rationale Behind Our Irrational Behavior (Pantheon, 2016), finds that the mind's most illogical symptoms follow the logic determined by the brain's coordination of conscious and unconscious thought.
