PSYB57H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Capgras Delusion, Frontal Lobe, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
In this chapter, we will study the brain functioning that makes cognition possible. We will also be learning about the methods used in learning about the brain (neuroimaging). Very important: each part of the brain has its own specialized function, and or behaviour, thoughts and feelings almost always depend on many brain regions working together. (even for what you consider the most simplest of actions!) These functions are identified through neuroimaging data, which can assess. We will be examining the visual system in depth. Because the visual system is what lets us see and understand the visual system around us, it is a gateway of vast information. The visual system is an example of what we can learn by deeply studying the brain. Visual system shows that analysis of visual input occurs as soon as visual information enters the nervous system. This analysis depends on many highly specialized regions of the brain working in parallel with each other.
