Thanks to advanced technological equipment, that were nonentities in Gull’s time, such as event-related potentials (ERPs), computerised axial tomography (CAT), positron-emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imagining (MRI), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), contemporary neuroscientists can identify noninvasively, which areas of the brain generate particular action potentials when an individual undergoes certain cognitive and behavioural tasks. They can even identify what cognitive or behavioural deficits occur because of stimulation to certain areas of the brain. For example, memory, or the lack thereof, is now widely accepted as pertaining to the medial temporal lobes incorporating the hippocampus (Eysenck & Keane, 2015). Additionally, when the occipital cortex undergoes transcranial magnetic stimulation, visual performance is impaired (Eysenck & Keane, 2015). Moreover, through Gall’s assumption and contemporary neuroscientific investigations, a person with hearing loss can now perceive sound when the auditory nerve at the centre of the densest bone within the skull is electronically stimulated (Zeng et al., 2019).    Social Science Psychology PSYCHOLOGY PSY30013 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
