Butterfly Brain Scan |
I have always been super interested in criminal mind behavior, so really enjoyed Mark Cohen's lecture on the overused parts of the brain and how that forms bumps on the head. The study of phrenology the detailed study of the shape and size of the cranium as a supposed indication of character and mental abilities. I would love to explore this concept more and how it relates to people's cognitive abilities and thought processes such as racism, gender roles, and sexism.
