Imagine that you are cycling home. Suddenly you see a right-turning car from the corner of your eye. The car will hit you if you don’t act. Your brain immediately prepares your body for action: your heart pumps faster; your hands grip the bars of the bicycsle. You squeeze the brakes and skid to a full stop. You feel scared. The car turns without noticing you. You feel anger.
