To make cerebral or brain-centered; to develop or emphasize brain function, or to interpret something through brain/mental activity.
From cerebral plus -ize (to make or cause to become). Constructed in the 19th century to describe processes of brain development or intellectual analysis.
When you 'cerebralize' something, you're taking an emotion or experience and turning it into an intellectual puzzle to solve—it's the opposite of going with your gut.
