PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. At the witch trials in Salem, when an accused “witch” was brought into court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the blood of those who watched. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their brain waves would have jumped from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 wave would have screamed “ALERT!”. Their GSR spiked. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine. The girls shrieked “Witch! Witch!”
We know this because today, the same thing happens in America among theater goers in a movie from Hollywood about witches, zombies, demons, a scary “Chucky” doll, and more. As adrenalin and cortisol shoot into your blood, neurotransmitters surge through your brain, your heart jumps, and it grabs the immediate attention of your brain, as you watch the Zombie apocalypse in a theater.
In varying degrees, this is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, sex, interpersonal relations, peer group pressure, your response on a polygraph or GSR, and every new witch hunt (see Ch. 2, 8, 19, 20 and 22).
PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. The failure to understand that has led to the media's preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry; a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.
The same psychology that controlled the emotions of the people of Salem, also controls our fears and anxiety, our depression and worries, our hope and success, and our very perception of reality, to this day. Understanding how the brain can be hijacked by the simplest psychology, gives us the potential to control our own mind. To not understand this, is a failure of our educational system and our society.
We begin with Important recent studies at MIT, Harvard, and the National Science Foundation that found that we are failing to get across the most important issues of any science.
The prestigious PEW Research found that America is 24th in the world in science. Why
