In today's episode, Dr. Joshua Greene of the Moral Cognition Lab at Harvard University talks with Adam about morally-based decision-making and the brain. Although matters of morality are often considered abstractly, there are ways to examine the brains of people while they make moral decisions, and to collect data about brain activity in parallel with these decisions. In this way, Dr. Greene asserts that we can better understand which brain circuits drive different types of decisions, especially those involving moral judgment. Join Adam as he learns what's involved in performing research about the science of morality. [05:43]
