QOD: How does the findings of Jim's scan and the mind reading discovery help answer theoretical questions in ways that existing measures cannot?

Answer:We cannot entirely understand how someone can kill or live without remorse or without care for other human beings, but by looking at the brain scan of a psychopath/ potential psychopath, we have a scientific understanding of what parts of the brain are lacking/damaged ]]> 2016-09-22 14:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/125731409 nikolaimit3927 https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126682011 Phineas Gage and what it means to be human]]> 2016-09-27 14:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126682011 nikolaimit3927 https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126682282 Metal rod passed through Phineas's head.

Our propensity for absolute kindness and our ability to act without any empathy or "humanity" are sides of the same coin of humanity. We are not taught good nor evil, we are not born that way. Being human is a matter of how we relate to those around us, to be human, one can be any number of things and can participate in a multitude of activities and beliefs. I do not feel that it is for us to decide what is human because it is entirely relative to our society. ]]> 2016-09-27 14:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126683992 nikolaimit3927 https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126970021 I can: understand the endocrine system and influence of drugs on the body]]> 2016-09-28 14:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/126970021 nikolaimit3927 https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/127272420 I can understand traits of the right and left brain]]> 2016-09-29 14:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/127272420 nikolaimit3927 https://padlet.com/nikolaimit3927/jqjr7kyis3zg/wish/127272480 Question Answers (Split Brain patient)
1. Corpus Callosum: Provides a connection between the right and left hemispheres of the brain
2.  The motor and sensory cortexes in the brain are connected by the corpus callosum. When it is severed, the halves of the brain are separated and can function independently

Sleep cycle: 90 minutes- stage 1-2-3-4-3-2-1-REM
1. Why do we sleep? To recuperate our neurons in the brain
2. Longer sleep means that stages 3 and 4 get shorter while REM gets longer. Best stage to wake up in is 1
3.  REM sleep is when most dreaming occurs (REM is also known as Paradoxical Sleep)
4. Why do we dream?-Oneirology (Dream psychology): Freud proposed that dreams offer wish fulfillment and are a representation of the unconscious desires
Manifest: Content of Dream
Latent: Meaning of the content
Information Processing Theory: Take information from the day and incorporate them into dreams to remember 
Dreaming may promote neural development and expansion of neural pathways
