Document Summary
Person who draws last wins the gun fight. Draw first top down decision, involves lots of corticol activation: robustly activated during a top down decision. These top down decision are a slow process (slow decision time because it involves a whole host of corticol regions): causing the movement to be slow; slower response. Top down decision leads to using a lot of pathways leading to slower movement. The person who sees their opponent draw a gun activates a stimulus driven response for the person who drew the gun second: reflexive; it simply just happens. This is because it uses a very basic neural circuitory; the circuitory is not corticol it is mediated subcortically don"t have to go through all the cortical structures; very fast. Much faster than someone who has activated top down decision. Therefore, the person who draws second should win the gun fight. Goals of science: understand (describe, explain & predict)
