The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

The Uncertainty Principle

The Uncertainty Principle

Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Cognitive Science
Psychiatry

Background:

Neurofeedback involves training brain activity for functional benefits.
It's widely used for neurological/psychiatric conditions and cognitive enhancement.
Current protocols often lack explicit assumptions about targets and mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

Critically examine conceptual and methodological issues in neurofeedback.
Review neural mechanisms and efficacy appraisal methods.
Discuss the control of functional brain activity via neurofeedback.

Main Methods:

Literature review and critical analysis of neurofeedback protocols.
Examination of assumptions regarding neural targets and intervention strategies.
Discussion of spatial and temporal scales of neurofeedback effects.

Main Results:

Neurofeedback protocols often rely on implicit assumptions about brain targets and mechanisms.
Efficacy assessment and understanding of neural mechanisms require further investigation.
The precise control of functional brain activity remains an area for exploration.

Conclusions:

Gauging neurofeedback's potential necessitates a deeper understanding of brain dynamics.
Improving neurofeedback efficacy requires precise definitions of functional brain activity and brain-behavior relationships.
Further research is essential to refine neurofeedback applications and validate its therapeutic claims.
