While making decisions, people often say it happened “naturally”; however, there are complex mechanisms in our brains at the time. The human brain works like a computer processor that receives, processes, stores, modifies, and transmits information but sometimes freezes. Dr. Gerda Ana Melnik-Leroy, a researcher at the prestigious École Normale in Paris and a researcher at the Data Science and Technology Institute (DSTI) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (MIF) at Vilnius University (VU), believes that serious and comprehensive research requires analyzing a problem or object of study from the perspectives of different sciences.
