How does our brain create our mind? Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique. Cognitive neuroscientists use the brain as a dependent measure for the mind, much as psychologists use reaction time and eye tracking as dependent measures for the mind. John Gabrieli of Stanford University and Dr. Cognitive neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the scientific study of biological substrates underlyingcognition, with a specific focus on the neural substrates of mental processes. What is the connection between our biology and our thoughts? The field of cognitive neuroscience is actually quite old. Since Darwin we have known that evolution has shaped all organisms and that biological organs—including the brain and the highly crafted animal nervous system—are subject to the pressures of natural and sexual selection. It addresses the In his book, The Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System in General, and of the Brain in Particular, Gall claimed that a larger bump in one of these areas meant that that area of the brain was used more frequently by that person. Cognitive neuroscience allies psychologists, biologists, brain researchers, and others in what is perhaps the most dramatic advance in the last decade of psychological research.
