  • MaryW commented on the word somatic marker

    Intuition is often called a "gut feeling." Sometimes we get a "vibe" when we sense a physical feeling of knowing . . . . The neuroscientist Antonio Damarion calls this the somatic marker: it indicates the way emotions affect reasoning in a rapid and often unconscious way.
