The Brain and Behavior

I did the pattern activity, strategy activity, blindspot activity, and the ambigious figures activity. What I learned from the activities was that we our brains have a blind spot. Some people see the world different then others, in this activity I found the blind spot just fine, but my boyfriend couldn't. It was cool. I also don't understand Patterns that much from the activity.

I knew that people perceived things different but I really didn't think that it was on this high of a level I guess you could say. These activities were very helpful.

In everyday life we are faced with choices in which we have to use stategies to figure out. In school and work we are all faced with patterns even though we don't realize it. And just the fact that how you see something does not mean that is how someone else will see something too.

This definately shows that people see the world on whole other levels then others. More then what I thought, These activities were very insightful.

This chapter better explains how When the Spinal cord is severed anything below that area can not be responsive all because the signals can't be sent to the brain.
I think it is very interesting how the Right hemisphere controls the Left side of the body and the Left hemispere controls the right side of the body. I honestly thought the brain worked mainly as a whole. Which it does but then again it doesn't.
Also the way that parts of the brains can substitute for removed or damaged parts of the brain is really mindboggling. Like a blind person not needing to see to the sense of touch which he needs takes his sight sense over. Crazy.

The man with 2 brains video was very cool. the drawing the shapes which different hands is crazy. I tried it just don't work. It was so much fun trying though. My boyfriend kinda got mad at himself. He is someone who wants to excel in anything that involves thinking outside the box. It was a lot of fun. And the word flashing was really cool. Or the faces mad out of stuff and depending on which side it was flashed to determined what he would say it was face or fruit.
