Do you know that sensation of speaking with a Martian?

After explaining your point for the third time you desist. You are exhausted. You are having one of those conversations where you feel like there is an invisible block of comprehension between you 2.

The invisible block has a scientific explanation.

People don’t relate well because they are using different brain modes.

Maybe you already know that according to neurosciences brain has 2 sides: right and left. But do you know how they function? Or that we also have 3 different functional modes?

Here is why we struggle to make the point.

We use a specific brain mode based on evolution

In the 1960s, the neuroscientist Paul MacLean created the Triune Brain model.

According to MacLean, vertebrates evolution developed 3 brain complexes:

🐍 The reptilian brain.

Every animal was a reptile at the beginning of evolution.

So everyone has an inner brain zone that pushes them to act accordingly.
