Step 1: Introducing the concept of physiological psychology

Neuropsychology deals with studying human behavior and cognitive processes in connection with the brain and nervous system. It employs imaging techniques like CT scan, MRI, fMRI, PET, EEG, etc. to examine the functioning of the brain and nervous system and the related cognitive processes.

A huge progress in this field has been the development of brain imaging procedures for studying different brain tissue and detecting the activity of different chemicals present inside the brain in living and fully functioning humans without carrying out any kind of neurosurgery at all. CT-scan or computerized tomography was the first imaging technique.
