As Christians, we must critically evaluate these areas of study, seeking truth and understanding. My response to Dr. Barret’s essay will focus on the…

The Cognitive Science major in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts will allow me to explore my obsession on a deeper level through providing me with an interdisciplinary education and access to related student organizations so that I can thoroughly explore its aspects, while also participating in hands-on research and community activities. A wide array of…

Superficially, science fiction entertains the reader by recreating an imagined world separate from our own. However, science fiction includes these alternative realities to gain deeper insights into human nature. Humankind’s response to “cognitive estrangement” in the form of change and the “Other” reflect our society’s norms and values.

Literature Review In the literature review, there are a number of studies done on the impacts of…

In the past three decades neuroimaging has revolutionized the world of neural sciences. First, it was the introduction of the computerized axial tomography in the 70s that gave information of anatomical structure. In the early 80s, the development of positron emission tomography gave the neural sciences the ability to produce 3D images of functional processes and magnetic resonance imaging provided an alternative to CT and X-ray imaging without the radiation exposure. Lastly, the domination that…

5The Psychology 101 class taught by Professor Jagiela has been very advantageous to my knowledge of the real world, the concept of psychology, and as a student at Quinnipiac University. This course, in particular, introduced myself to the background and breadth of contemporary psychological science. Five perspectives on the study of psychology form the basis for topics within the class; these include the biological, cognitive, social, developmental and scientist-practitioner aspects. The course…

Truant Mail The first I ever heard about the University of Alabama’s Neuroscience program was from a letter a woman I barely knew claimed was mine. This letter (Sent after a 2012 Big 10 Expo) had fallen into the wrong hands, thanks to the mailman and had travelled great distances from mailbox F to mailbox G. Serendipity I thought, after warily accepting my truant mail (lest it was another bill), as said letter offered a unique program tailored to fit my interests before my search for graduate…
