Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

The following article was published by Reuters and contains a serious methodological flaw. "WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Brain scans show that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those of people who are telling the truth‚ U.S. researchers said on Monday. The study‚ using functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI‚ not only sheds light on what goes on when people lie but may also provide new technology for lie-detecting‚ the researchers said. "There may be unique areas

In this paper‚ I will discuss the brain and its functions as related to the movie 50 First Dates. The paper will discuss the three main characters and the cause-effect relationships that have affected their brains‚ as well as an analysis of what portion of the brain has been affected. In the romantic comedy‚ Lucy is the main character who suffered a brain injury in a car accident. Her main symptom was loss of short-term memory. This is caused by damage to the hippocampus‚ inside the temporal

Part I Option B The case of Phineas Gage is one of the most often cited in biological psychology. Explain what we can learn about the relationship between brain and behaviour from this and similar cases and describe techniques used by biological psychologists that can supplement our knowledge of this relationship. This essay explains what can be learnt about the relationship between brain and behaviour using the case of Phineas Gage and imaging techniques. It starts by briefly describing neurons

Frontotemporal dementia is a group of disorders caused by progressive cell degeneration in the brain’s frontal lobes or its temporal lobes. The cell damage caused by frontotemporal dementia leads to tissue shrinkage and reduced function in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes‚ which control planning and judgment; emotions‚ speaking and understanding speech and certain types of movement. In those younger than age 65‚ FTD may account for up to 20 to 50 percent of dementia cases. People usually develop

The Behaving Brain: Video Response The video put the chapter into visual perspective for me in terms of learning about our brain structure and it’s different parts. The video describes the three important jobs our neurons do: receive information from other cells‚ process information‚ and transmit it to the rest of the body. Without our neurons we would have no brain activity. All behavior begins with an action from a neuron. First the brain gathers information from the receptors and spread it
