Study Notes
Course Overview
- The course explores a physiological approach to studying behavior.
- Emphasizes the relationships between brain-body, brain-behavior, and mind-behavior.
- Aims to enhance understanding in neuroscience and its basic concepts.
Understanding Human Consciousness
- Consciousness involves awareness of thoughts, perceptions, memories, and feelings.
- Humans can communicate their conscious experiences to others.
Visual Processing and Brain Function
- Blind field awareness occurs when a person is unaware of objects yet can reach for them, often due to "mammalian" visual system damage.
- Split-brain patients may not consciously recognize objects presented to the right hemisphere but can indicate perception via left-hand movements.
Left Hemisphere Neglect Syndrome
- Characterized by overlooking objects on the left side; typically results from right parietal lobe damage.
- Affects attention and perception, leading individuals to ignore stimuli on one side of their visual field.
Mental Health Reminder
- Importance of taking care of mental health is highlighted throughout the course.
