Introduction to Psychology

It's time to learn about the mind! This is actually not the same as the brain, which we learned about in the biopsychology series. The mind is located in the brain, but it can't quite be reduced to brain function if we wish to describe feelings, desires, and other aspects of human behavior. These phenomena transcend and emerge from brain physiology just the way that biology emerges from chemistry. What is personality? Why do we laugh? What is morality? We will tackle big questions such as these and others in this series. So let's learn some psychology!
