The biological perspective or foundation or ‘Biopsychology’ is a latest development in the field of psychology which has acquired increasing importance as a specialized branch of psychology in recent times.

This branch of psychology is also known by different names like Psychobiology, Biological Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience and Physiological Psychology.

Biopsychology as a specialized discipline gained its importance during 18th and 19th centuries. Eminent philosopher Rene Descartes propounded the physical model for explaining the behavior of animals and humans. According to him, the Pineal gland which exists in the brain of many organisms is the point of connection between body and brain. Descartes was also responsible for introducing the concept of reflexes which led to muscle responses, though this was later denied by the researchers with an argument that spinal cord is responsible for muscular responses.

Brain Lateralization means that the two halves of the brain known as right and left hemispheres function differently but yet interdependently. If we study the brain anatomy, we will understand that the brain is divided into two hemispheres which are connected by the corpus callosum.

This course allows you to understand how others think about you, how they act and communicate etc.  Most of us are not aware of the psychology which we use in our day-to-day life while we make decisions and choices.   

Few advanced and hard-to-understand concepts are explained with case studies.  The first case study teaches you to understand the role of senses in an individual’s perception and psychology.

Apart from this, there are couple of interesting exercises at the end of the course.
