Survey : which of these statements/opinions have you heard in Japan ?

[DoctorP]

I heard from a couple of Japanese students that Western brains work differently and I also heard one of them say something about Japanese anatomy being different from Western anatomy. I found that odd.

Did they say that our brains work differently or did you misunderstand them...I have spoken with several people who said similar things, but when I questioned them further, they actually meant that we think differently (which is true) but not that our brains actually work differently.

I think I misunderstood them. That would be something I would agree with, Westners do have a different way of thinking.
