The brain is part of someone's body and controls psychological things. Everything that your body does (except cell division, cell oxidization, immune systems, etc.) is processed in the brain. Therefore, if something is happening psychologically it is also biological because the brain is a biological object, if you will. That brain controls psychological things.
Stimuli’s are what transfers to the brain. The brain is dependent on neurotransmitters to send signals for one part of the brain to another part. The neurotransmitters are let go or released by nerve cells, which is what helps in carrying out cognitive functioning. When brain cells are damaged
Plato was the one that proposed that it was the brain that was indeed the organ of all reasoning. Not everyone was in agreement. Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and G. W. Leibniz were all very important in the development of modern psychology and all had their own mind body theories that have proved to be of the upmost importance in biopsychology. The relationship between biological psychology and other fields in psychology and neuroscience can be explained, by saying that humans may serve as experimental subjects in behavioral neuroscience. But a great deal of the experimental text in behavioral neuroscience originates from the study of animals not humans.
The mind/body problem has been troubling philosophers for centuries and in various ways remains unresolved. The common sense view seems is that there is distinction between mind and matter and so the mind cannot be identical with the brain. This is the view that was held by Rene Descartes (1596-1650). Descartes claims that the mind and body are made of different substances (a physical substance and a non-physical substance) and as a result of this they cannot be identical. The problem with this view however is in explaining the interaction between the two.
There are those that say consciousness is merely an after effect of neural events in the brain (epiphenomenalism) and have touted neurological science as their proof. Is studying the consciousness really just a matter of studying neural events? A major key point in the debate of mind-body is whether mind and body are one, or if they are separate parts. And if they are separate parts, do they work together? If so, then how?
The major perspectives represent fundamental assumptions that underlie the research questions and methods that are used in order to answer the questions of psychology. Most all perspectives define psychology as the discipline interested in studying human behavior and mental processes, but that covers a lot of ground and the causes of behavior and mental processes are not always clear.

Commander Bruce Maddox is the person wanting to have him disassemble so that they can learn more about him in the hopes of making many Data android into an Army. The mind/body argument has to do with the matter and non-matter relationship. However, there are many different thoughts and discussions about what the correct relationship may be. Many philosophers have debated about how the mind and body relate to each other. In this case there is the argument on if Data, the Android Robert, has a mind (or soul).
There is some amount of causal powers attributed to the brain that cannot be simply by analyzing the electromagnetic-fields and quarks in the brain. As Broad would say even a “Mathematical Archangel” would not be able to determine a person’s actions based on knowledge of the
In ‘If Free Will Doesn’t Exist, Neither Does Water’, Vargas asserts that most people nowadays connect science and free will and use it to prove that free will does not actually exist. I personally believe that these claims are too hasty as the issue requires substantive commitments about disputed philosophical ideas. Aside from that, he also mentions that science has a different way to explain the detail of history of the things that we know without abandoning anything else. In section 1, I will explain the connection between science and our actions. In section 2, I will discuss why if our actions are casually determined, then we don’t have free will.
Intellectual Power What is intellectual power? Also known as intelligence, intellectual power is a concept that has been debated for many years. It is questionable whether intellectual power is a physical, fixed concept or an internal cognitive capability. Everyone can come up with a different meaning for this idea and it is unclear which is actually correct. Although a controversial topic, a common ground has been found on defining and measuring intellectual power, however there is not a precise definition accepted by all in the field of psychology.
