Biophysics of Behavior

Biophysics of behavior explores how biological systems—such as neurons, brain structures, and chemical signals—govern our actions and responses. It applies physical principles like electricity, magnetism, and mechanics to understand how nerve impulses transmit, how brain activity creates thoughts and feelings, and how the body interacts with its environment. By studying these processes, biophysics helps explain the physical basis of behaviors, from instinctual reflexes to complex cognition, bridging biology and physics to reveal the underlying mechanisms that shape how we act and experience the world.
