Making the paper: Tali Sharot.

The article reports on the result of a research conducted by doctor Tali Sharot regarding the relationship between emotion and memory. As part of the study, she asked volunteers to rate each of 80 events as positive, negative or neutral in which the next step included an imaging component called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to capture their brain's activity. According to Sharot, the images showed that the same parts of the brain that were involved in processing memory and emotion had a role in anticipating and rating the events that would happen in the future.
