It's like a scanner of the brain and thought process that you can watch, or hear.

Put simply, behavioural economics argues that human beings' decision-taking is guided by the evolutionary baggage which we bring with us to the present day.

No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.
William Goldman
