Welcome to Physiological
Psychology! Thisis
an exciting area of study, which examines the relationship between the
BRAIN and BEHAVIOR. Although many exciting developments continue
to unfold in the brain sciences, such progress rests on the shoulders of
giants! While we study the intriguing and innovative contributions
this field has made to our quality of life, well into the 21st century,
bear in mind it was the dedication, creativity, and zeal of fellow scientists
that deserves our gratitude.
In this spirit,
I urge you to read the comments from some noted biological psychologists
on the front and back cover of your textbook. May you draw inspiration
from their thoughts and work, and my best wishes for a productive and,
hopefully, interesting semester.
This is a collection of movie clips, showing various medical reconstructions.
These images are derived from slice data from a variety of medical imagemodalities
such as MR or CT. The two dimensional slice data from thesescanners is
used as input for the three dimensional reconstructions.
