In Gore's book, The Assault on Reason, he highlights the use of brain scanning performed by psycholgists on subjects being subjected to political and or news information. Broadcast media or talk radio fed to subjects resulted in use by that part of the brain most primal in origin or the oldest part of the human brain. When considering subjects reading books or newspapers/magazines, the parts of the brain which had the most activity were the intellectual, or, the human section of the brain, using our intellect interactively. I thought this very very interesting.

So Al the Genius has determined that passive learning is less effective than active learning? Forget President can we just elect him Supreme Emperor of the universe now and get it over with.
Really TV and radio stimulate different parts of the brain than reading. That is absolutely brilliant and it doesn't suprise me in the least that someone of your intellect found that interesting.

If the brain is like a computer then the mind is what takes us to the next level and gives us consciousness. A computer uses electronic signals to transmit data but our brain uses electrochemical transmitters. Maybe when all of this is put together the mind is formed.

Actually, the Neuro-Linguistic-Programming "Model" has been around long before Gore.
It is a method to see which part of the brain people make decisions with. Emotion or Logic. Visual vs. Audio. Written vs. Picures. ect....
It has been used for years, by many Sales organizations, Communications Companies, to try to communicate to different people, who process information thru different parts of the brain....
Had training on it. Merrill Lynch 1985.....

Are there peer reviewed papers about this? Or are we expected to take the word of a politician in a scientific matter?

I use my entire brain. Your post about Gore really proves his irrelevance!
