Moral Philosophy is arguably one of the most ambiguous forms of philosophy‚ but is also one of the most necessary. We‚ as humans‚ seek some moral reference point from which we can assign moral good and bad in everyday life. However‚ it is not clear exactly which moral standard‚ if any‚ is closest to this intangible moral ideal. The problem is that‚ when speaking of morality‚ there are so many factors and perspectives to consider. First there is the intention of the person which determines the desired

HOW CAN BRAIN IMAGING HELP STUDY COGNITION? Intro * involves analysing activity within brain while performing various cog tasks – allow us to link bhvr & brain function to help understand how info is processed * cog activity assoc w neural activity in brain regions: * on scalp as electrical activity ie MEG‚ EEG (direct measures) * inside brain by measuring O2 consumption caused by neural activity ie PET‚ fMRI (indirect) * diff imaging techniques vary in their temp (time-based)

Essay Assignment II Nov. 28th‚ 2012 Discuss whether the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a new form of “phrenology”. Is it reliable enough to be used as evidence in court? After fMRI was first introduced‚ it has been under criticism that it is not hard science. The most common technique‚ the BOLD (blood oxygen level-dependent) fMRI‚ measures the increase in regional cerebral blood flow in response to increased metabolism‚ which is to be caused from heightened activity of neuron

Non-Ambiguous: A Dream and Reality Now Severed Wesley J.A. Todd America was the great melting pot. It was full of many diverse flavors. Some were spicy‚ some were tart‚ and some were even bitter; it was boiling and brimming‚ but it is now burning. Is our pot too full; is it time to replace the lid? Bruce Springsteen once stated‚ “I have spent my life judging the distance between American reality and the American dream.” One may feel that the American dream is no longer ambiguous with the American

work. Researchers now believe that dyslexia occurs because of the way that the brain is formed and the way that it processes the information it receives. People with dyslexia are actually wired differently. Pictures of the brain‚ taken with modern imaging tools‚ have shown that when people with dyslexia read they use different parts of the brain than people without dyslexia. The term dyslexia‚ however‚ is defined in different ways. While reading is the basic problem‚ people include different aspects

Brain Imaging Technologies in Research of Biological Factors and Behavior Within the biological level of analysis there are many different technologies used when investigating the relationship between biological factors and behavior. There are five main technologies‚ however‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most common ones. These are based on the fact that when the body is exposed to a magnetic field‚ the protons in the body fluids
