Dilemma judment is the result of solving the conflict created by having to decide if proposition P2 is the solution for the problem introduced by proposition P1.
Conflict detection and solution is proposed to be carried out by Anterior Cingulate Cortex (Botvinic et al, 2004; Camile et al, 2004; Greene et al 2001, 2004) with the participation of the OrbitoFrontal and MedialPrefrontal Cortices (Greene et al, 2001;2004; Moll et al 2001). We proposed that these activities are pictured by FM2.
It is also proposed that conflict solution involves the participation of pariteal and temporal neurons (Greene et al 2001, 2004; Mole et al 2001, Sanfey et al 2006) whose activity may be figured by FM3.
The semantic cognitive imagery associated with dilemma comphrehension is captured by D-FM2 and is proposed to involve the participation of the posterior brain (Klein et al, 2000; Lundstrom et al, 2005; Mellet et al, 1998; Nakamura et al, 2000; Thompson et al, 2001).
