I was really fascinated by both the idea of a bipartite or triune brain.  While they both provide interesting explanations, I think the idea of a triune brain makes more sense to me.  I feel like there must be some communication between the conscience and the unconscious brain, and I hope that we examine how this happens in class.  

I though the idea of “relationship schemas” in our unconscious really underscored how these two parts of the brain must be related.  If our unconscious is facilitating our interactions with others, I feel that our conscious could be made aware of these schemas at some point through observation (and therapy?).

I would like to believe that we could communicate and change the underlying beliefs of our unconscious.  The brain is such a plastic, changeable structure that it seems to make sense that through different methods we could change our beliefs.
