Social psychologist Mahzarin Banaji continues her discussion of experiments that look into the way the brain reacts to black and white faces. Dr. Banaji notes that there appear to be two systems in the brain that are involved. The first of these includes the amygdala and functions like an early detection system. "Its job is to warn that something that might induce fear is coming," Dr. Banaji explains. She then describes how that message is sent to the pre-frontal cortex, which can deal with it in a more sophisticated way.
