In today's lesson we watched a documentary entitled 'Phantoms in the Brain' which looked at neuropsychiatry - the investigation of people with unusual and interesting neurological (brain-related) conditions such as phantom limbs and 'blindsight' in order to learn about how normal brains function.
We then started to look at the physiological approach (basically the biological approach, focusing on how the body functions rather than genetic or evolutionary factors).
Here is the presentation, which is mainly questions and some stimulus pictures, but which gives a flavour of what we talked about. On Thursday we will get stuck into the brain and I will set another piece of written work.
Your essay "Discuss evolutionary explanations of human behaviour" is due in on Friday via Edmodo.
