ADR and neuroscience

Hi everyone I am Rosa and I live in Cost Rica in Central America.

I hope we can share ideas and trends in the ADR field. I am a lawyer, but a mediator and arbitrator too. I am fascinated with the neuroscience and its applications in mediation process-

For example, it is better to use joint sessions than just caucuses. Parties need to see each other and control the sincerity of the other party. I know it is easier for a mediator to manage parties emotions when they are separated, but that can be an excuse to nos use joint sessions.

What do you think?
