Speaker :

Rebecca Saxe studies how we think about other people's thoughts. At the Saxelab at MIT, she uses fMRI to identify what happens in our brains when we consider the motives, passions and beliefs of others
Vocabulary :

a result of a particular action or set of conditions
Example : Many believe that poverty is a direct
consequence of overpopulation.
2. moral (道德) : based on your
ideas about what is right, rather than on what is legal or practical
Example : It is easy to have an opinion on a moral
issue like the death penalty for murder.
3.adolescence (青春期) : the time, usually
between the ages of 12 and 18, when a young person is developing into an adult
Example: During adolescence, boys are sometimes very shy and lacking in
self-confidence.
4. permissible(允許的) : allowed by law or by the rules
Example : As long as any advert does
not bring the profession into disreputenor is in bad taste then
it is permissible.

My comment :
It's a very interesting TED to talk about how brain thinks about peoples' thoought , she research many kind of age , cheer, background ect. and research prove that people learned to hinks about peoples' thoought in childhood and teenage to adult . She research a very influential science to change a people moral judgment ,but I think each person is especial and unique,so difficult to learn one's thought , that many misunderstand to people .
