显微技术让我们可以看见近处的微小物体,由此我们发现,我们对健康有很多错误认识。望远技术让我们可以看见遥远的巨大物体,由此我们发现,我们并不是处在宇宙的中心。最近,一项名为功能·性磁共振成像(fMRI)的技术则表明,我们长期以来关于人类动机的观点或许也是错误的。社会神经学科的创始人之—马修·利伯曼在他的新书Social:Why Our Brains are Wired to Connect中指出,我们认为人是理性的、有逻辑的,受到利益、贪婪与欲望的驱动;这种观点有一定道理,但却并不完全正确。
Microscopy allows us to see tiny objects in the close, from which we find that we have a lot of misconceptions about health. Tele-technology allows us to see distant, huge objects, from which we find that we are not at the center of the universe. Recently, a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has shown that our long-held view of human motivation may also be wrong. Matthew Lieberman, the founder of the Social Neuroscience Department, points out in his new book Social: Why Our Brains are Wired to Connect that we think people are rational, logical, motivated by interests, greed, and desires; This view has some truth, but it is not entirely correct.
