the answer…all three.
your triggers.
The “Reptilian Brain” decides. It takes input from the other 2 brains but it controls the final decision making process.
The “Middle Brain” feels. It processes emotions and gut feelings and also share its findings with the other two brains.
The “New Brain” thinks. It processes rational data and shares its deductions with the other two brains..
