Introduction of our journey

I am a high school student who wants to pursue his future academic career as a neuroscientist and brain researcher. Actually, making this decision was not that difficult for me after being aware of the unbelievable brain characteristics worth researching. In the cognitive philosophy, there is commonly used word:” Brain is the small map of whole universe”. It can easily be inferred from this statement that if we learnt the working principles and mechanism behind our brain, it would be possible to understand the complexity of the universe or even some spiritual creatures. Thus, considering all these, I decided to share some interesting and substantial topics regarding brain which be quite capable of showing its distinctness.

This is just basic introduction of my blog.

Perception vs Reality: What is the actual difference between them?

The subject of matter I am going to discuss is probably mostly used concept of psychology in our daily life situations. Somehow, nearly all of us are subject to misunderstanding by others and think that this is due to the wrong interpretations of them, not us. Actually, there is something we can do in order to prevent these occurrences. However, before going deeper in this issue, let`s find out what perception and reality indicate. Perception is recognition and clarification of information obtained with the help of sensory organs. For instance, interview panel observes behaviors of applicant and perceives that he or she is a little bit defensive and not open to negative feedback. The perceptions such as these create our own reality, but it can be far different from the actual reality . Imagine yourself as a person with full of life energy and commitment to the work you do; nevertheless, your colleagues do believe that you do not love your work and do not fully t...

Punishment or rehabilitation: which is more effective technique psychologically?

It is inevitably true that our world has always been full of people committing criminal acts. Currently, there are two main approaches implemented toward these criminals; one is physical or mental punishment and the other is rehabilitation of them, which results in their integration to the society. As far as I know, both techniques are utilized by different systems and philosophical waves: for instance, Islamic juridical system largely focusses on the punishment, while Scandinavian and protestant systems view rehabilitation more advantageous method. In this article, I will draw attention to the psychological outcomes of both and, then, state my own opinion backed up by reliable assumptions and accepted theories of neuroscience. Firstly, it should be clarified in what context the efficacy of punishment and rehabilitation are going to be disclosed. With that aim in mind, I want to give the purpose of prisons; in the widely accepted systems, prisons are used to reduce the probabili...

Dreamology

Dreams humans see during sleeps are always believed to be integral part of cognitive philosophy and neuroscience. By the same token, largest thinkers, such as Aristotle, Descartes and Plato, expressed controversial ideas surrounding dreams. In addition to the philosophical approach to this topic, there are neurological aspects needed to be clarified. In this post, I will summarize the main findings of both advanced areas. Most referenced philosopher in terms of brain and human thoughts, Rene Descartes, had widely discussed dream argument. Briefly explaining, Dream argument draws attention to the similarities between dreams and actual life. This similarity leads to a popular question as a result of conclusions driven by dream argument: How can I know that I am not now dreaming? According to Descartes, our fundamental senses are not reliable enough to answer the question above and he is not able to find any key difference between the dreams and reality to distinguish them. However...
