Behavioural Neuroscience

Behavioral neuroscience is the scientific study of how the brain and nervous system influence behavior and mental processes. It explores the relationships between physical brain activity and observable behaviors, often using psychophysical laws, which describe how we perceive stimuli based on their intensity. For example, these laws explain why small changes in a loud sound are noticeable, while the same change in a quiet sound might go unnoticed. By understanding these connections, researchers can better comprehend how different brain functions contribute to behaviors, emotions, and cognitive processes.
