Neuroscience:Physiology At It's Best
By Depew,Langston,LeVay and Lewis
Welcome to Southern Arkansas University's Webpage about Neuroscience and how cognitive science helped to shape it.
One Source of Cognitive Science
One source of cognitive science is physiology. Physiology is used to explain many things. It is used to explain observation in behavioral sciences or what is wrong with someone in biological sciences. But physiology is important to cognitive science. Physiology explains many things that are useful when explaining cognition. Physiology can do a lot to explain cognition and that which is of interest. Last year, the example of vison was givin and I think that is still very much valid. Most of us use our vison to read, see which way we need to turn when driving and to see lecture notes to write down. To a cognitive scientist, they study it not because it exist but because of how does it aid thinking. How does vison aid us in thinking? We could, pardon the word, think of a lot of different questions that would interest a cognitive scientist but the point remains physiology does aid that scientist in a lot of ways.
