We talk with two experts about how advances in the field of neuroscience
may transform conflict resolution on an individual and global scale. Dr.
Mari Fitzduff of Brandeis University talks about a hormone that promotes
peace building and explains how conservatism and liberalism can appear in
brain scans. Dr. Emile Bruneau, visiting professor at the University of
Pennsylvania uses neuro-imaging to better understand the often unconscious
biases that drive conflict.
