What is 'sense-think-act'?
The 'sense-think-act' model is a traditional view of how we make decisions. It suggests we first take in information (sense), then process it and weigh options (think), and finally carry out an action (act). The neuroscientist in the story is challenging this linear idea, proposing a more integrated, simultaneous process for decision-making.
