Abby Prochaska BEH/225 October 26‚ 2014 Dr. Gigi Servis The brain is separated into four main lobes‚ which include the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are located on the front and the top area of the

Words formed into melodies have been the most powerful message‚ allowing people to comprehend emotion for over 5‚000 years. The way words are placed between beats gives a hypnotic message to your body and changes the state of your brain. But is music just that? A series of notes and precisely placed words? This is what I have set out to discover. What effect does music have on humans? When listening to a good song you feel a sense of relaxation and calm within your body. Often we stop what we’re

In the reading we examined and debunked the myth of some people being left- brained and others being right- brained. They explain that the laterality of function means that one or the other hemisphere of the brain can perform or process certain mental tasks better than the other side. This is only true to those who have undergone a “ split brain” operation. The split brain phenomenon refers to a surgical processor that involves surgeons cut the corpus callosum that connects the left and right hemisphere

The human brain is in many ways‚ just as mysterious as space. It is the organ that has brought the human race to an advanced state that is truly inconceivable when compared to our ancestral species’ accomplishments. The human brain has allowed humans to build kingdoms‚ let them fall‚ create massive sculptures‚ buildings‚ and computers. It has cured diseases and created languages that are used by all to describe the abstract thoughts we uniquely have. It has led us to great compassion and empathy

One study of localisation of function in the brain is Maguire (2000)‚ who looked at the role of the hippocampus in spatial memory. Localisation is a theory that different parts of the brain are responsible for certain behaviours or functions. The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain‚ and is associated with memory and spatial navigation. Maguire’s study provides some insight into the localisation of these functions in the hippocampus. Maguire’s study was a natural experiment

In the neuropsychological field‚ one way to know whether the processing of face is carried out by the domain-specificity or domain-general mechanism is to study patients with brain damage in visual areas. For example‚ patients CK who lost ability to recognize objects after a car accident performed perfectly on the tasks of face recognition. () Meanwhile‚ many cases of patients who suffered prosopagnosia‚ their ability of object identification remains intact. It suggests there is a double dissociation
