Abstract

The present text reflects in a general way on the power of human decision making, analyzing from the cognitive sciences, and especially from neuroscience and psychology, the neural and behavioral bases that influence the consciousness at the time of making decisions. In the same way, a neurobiological approach is made of the main mental shortcuts that influence the human being when making a decision.
