neuropsychology

The branch of psychology that attempts to link psychological processes and behaviour to underlying neural tissue. This approach to understanding brain-behaviour correlates came about from classic examples such as Finneas Gage, and the work of individuals like Broca and Wernecke.

Neuris is a pedophile who likes little children and uses mentally deranged females. Do not talk to a Neuris if you can. If someone tells you their name is a Neuris your best option is to RUN.
Person 1 - "Did you hear what happened to Neuris?"
Person 2 - "No I didn't?"
Person 1 - "He got arrested for messing around with an autistic 10 year old girl!"

Person 2 - "What the fuck? What a sicko!"

Neuropsychorelativism

The idea that the brain's structure and function are not fixed interpreters of reality, but are shaped by culture, language, and personal experience to such a degree that there is no single, objective "brain reality." Different brains, shaped by different lives, literally perceive and construct different worlds. Your neural architecture is your own unique reality-generating prison.
Consider the concept of "schizophrenia." Neuropsychorelativism might argue that in a culture that interprets auditory hallucinations as communication with ancestors, the brain's wiring and the person's experience would be fundamentally different—and perhaps less distressing—than in a culture that pathologizes it as a disease. The brain isn't discovering reality; it's building a bespoke one based on its inputs. Someone who grows up bilingual might have a literally different neural landscape for language than a monolingual person.

Neuropsychodeterminism

The hardcore belief that all thoughts, choices, and actions are the inevitable, pre-determined outputs of electrochemical brain processes. Free will is a compelling illusion generated by the brain to explain its own operations to itself. You are a passive passenger watching the screen of consciousness, while the neural machinery below runs on the unbreakable laws of physics and chemistry.
Example: You "decide" to grab a coffee. Neuropsychodeterminism says that decision was finalized milliseconds before you were consciously aware of it, triggered by a cascade of neural events stemming from your blood sugar, prior caffeine addiction pathways, and sensory input. The "you" that feels in control is just a news ticker, not the editor. The movie "Free Guy" hints at this—the NPC's "choices" are just code executing. A neuropsychodeterminist sees humans as vastly more complex, but equally determined, biological NPCs.
