Get the neurips mug.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.

Get the Neuropsychology mug.The belief that our subjective mental experiences—thoughts, emotions, "the self"—are direct, one-to-one products of specific, measurable brain states. It asserts that if we had a perfect brain scanner, we could read your mind like a book because every qualia (like the redness of red or the ache of sadness) has a precise neural barcode. It's the ultimate "you are your brain" stance, dismissing anything that can't be physically located as illusion.
Neuropsychorealism would argue that your feeling of love for your partner isn't some mystical connection, but simply the predictable firing pattern of neurons in your ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens, flooded with oxytocin and dopamine. If we could perfectly replicate that exact brain state in a vat, you'd feel identical love for no one at all. The movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a neuropsychorealist nightmare—since memories are physical engrams, zapping them should delete the associated emotion.

Get the Neuropsychorealism mug.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.
