Neal E. Miller

Neal E. Miller was an influential American psychologist known for his research in motivation and learning. He is particularly recognized for his work on the interactions between behavior and physiology, exploring how the body’s processes affect learning and motivation. Miller developed the concept of biofeedback, which involves using electronic devices to provide real-time feedback on bodily functions, helping individuals gain control over physiological processes. His contributions significantly advanced understanding in psychology, particularly in areas like behaviorism and the role of internal states in learning. Miller's interdisciplinary approach combined psychology with neuroscience, impacting both fields.
