154/661not faking their lack of awareness about how upset theyare; their brain is keeping that information from them.More precisely, the layer of mellow feeling that coversover such disturbing perceptions may well be due to theworkings of the left prefrontal lobe. To his surprise,when Davidson measured activity levels in their prefrontallobes, they had a decided predominance of activityon the left—the center for good feeling—and less onthe right, the center for negativity.These people "present themselves in a positive light,with an upbeat mood," Davidson told me. "They denythat stress is upsetting them and show a pattern of leftfrontal activation while just sitting at rest that is associatedwith positive feelings. This brain activity may bethe key to their positive claims, despite the underlyingphysiological arousal that looks like distress."Davidson's theory is that, in terms of brain activity, it isenergy-demanding work to experience distressing realitiesin a positive light. The increased physiological arousalmay be due to the sustained attempt by the neural circuitryto maintain positive feelings or to suppress or inhibitany negative ones.In short, unflappableness is a kind of upbeat denial, apositive dissociation—and, possibly, a clue to neuralmechanisms at play in the more severe dissociativestates that can occur in, say, post-traumatic stress
155/661disorder. When it is simply involved in equanimity, saysDavidson, "it seems to be a successful strategy foremotional self-regulation" though with an unknown costto self-awareness.
