Episode 27: Season 2, Episode 3 of our book read/podcast covering every chapter in an open source textbook to act as a free supplement to INTRODUCTORY PSYCHOLOGY. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Iva Katzarska-Miller to take an outsider’s look at neuroscience and the growth and popularity of a popular field of science. We discuss the nature of essentialism and integration when talking about the brain, some tough questions about neuropsychology research (including one with a salmon), and posit on its popularity. In conclusion we offer our hopes for the future of the field and non-science interpretations of its findings.
