"Neuroreductionism" is the tendency to reduce complex mental phenomena to brain states, confusing correlation for physical causation. In this paper, we illustrate the dangers of this popular neuro-fallacy, by looking at an example drawn from the media: a story about "hypoactive sexual desire disorder" in women. We discuss the role of folk dualism in perpetuating such a confusion, and draw some conclusions about the role of "brain scans" in our understanding of romantic love.
“神经还原论”是一种将复杂的心理现象简化为大脑状态的倾向，将相关性与物理因果关系相混淆。在本文中，我们通过审视一个来自媒体的例子，即一则关于女性“性欲减退障碍”的报道，来说明这种流行的神经谬误的危险性。我们讨论了民间二元论在使这种混淆长期存在中所起的作用，并就“脑部扫描”在我们对浪漫爱情的理解中所起的作用得出了一些结论。
