Phycology-and-my-life选修课心理学论文

Phycology and my life

Since I learned this course named phycology and life, it has made big difference in my daily life and my major selecting choice.

What impresses me most is the chapter which has the main idea of the function of the brain. In this chapter I learn how our brain determinesour thinking methods and the result of our thinking. Especially the content of the magic detection of the brain’s activity when we are thinking or doing things with the help of the MRI attracts me.

I am studying in department of engineering which short for DEP. What I can choose in this area is all about nuclear or related tightly to the nuclear science or applying.

I don’t like Nuclear power plant either the Astrophysics; one is for making more electronic to handle the problem of the shortage of the energy while the other is for exploring the universe using the high speed atoms or tinierParticle. In my thought, they are not so related with our society or I cannot achieve myself well. But here are some new good ideas when I learned the chapter of brain. In my major, I can choose the direction of MRI which is short of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. I find more use in my major, which can lead some fantastic findings in science and help a lot in society. Or it inspires me to make a choice of the MRI.

I entered the lab of MRI to try to do something in this area. I just do something simple for I am just in second year. Dea ling the ‘dirty work’ which means some simple but require a lot of time to complete.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is founded on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). NMR has been an important branch of physics since the 1940s, when it was discovered independently by Bloch and Purcell (name).

In that chapter I learned we can use MRI to scan the brain to gain a lot of information while the brain is working or just they are resting. We can combine what I mainly research with the subject of the phycology, which should produce a lot of convenience evidence to prove some brilliant break up in the area of theory.

In my research this year, I mainly do some element help. Such things as write c program for the link of the MRI’s previous program t o make it easier to run so to win the high speed.

I do believe what I do is not so boring, as it has much application prospection. What I do is just

a small part of the Dynamic display, but if it can be achieved we can make MRI do more not only in the dusty or the research.

The real-time dynamic display which you can see the meaning from the name directly. It means we can record the scan area just like making movie. In our hospital we can only see one photo or several photos reflecting our detecting body area. But had this technic been realized, we would had saved more energy in diagnosis and mad it easier to find some illness like cancer in the early stage. And it can make it possible to make surgery while the TV shows where the condition of the metastasis timely to give the doctor more information in guiding them to complete the surgery.

What these technics perform in the area of phycology? Well it can change the way of studying in the exploring of the memory, the dream etc. from the chapter, we can see the main searching ways are just electronic inspires or taking photos using MRI. It all cannot reflect the change of the brain. What the brain will do show us when we falling dream? What does the brain actually act

when we switch our spirit? When we tears who would be responsible to it? The happiness or the sadness? Is it possible for us to known what a man’s word is true or just a lie? What the most important is why some people have some mental problems? I want to use problem not the disease because there are not so many mental diseases but many people who have at least one mental problem, which has caused many social problems and it is like an infectious disease which can spread to others and finally cause disasters in society.

I believe the relationship between technology and science is like that between palm and back of the hand. We just cannot divide them so directly or what we can most contribute is to combine them. From the learning of the phycology course,I believe this faith deeper. further study give more theory to the technology and it need more technic to provide the way of finding support to the theory but to gain the theory inspiring ideas while technic need theory to guide the project and the new Verification of the theory need more technical support .

In my research area, I can imagine that when we complete the task which is Real-time dynamic imaging of MRI what we can do then?

Here I will design a phycology experiment based on the assumption that the Real-time dynamic imaging of MRI is achieved.

Explore the Hysteria illness resource

Experimenters: Pihu

Experimental purpose: to find the Hysteria’s reflecting in the brain.

Experimental subjects: 4 people two men, two women.

Design:

1.Invite 4 people to the experiment. Two men and two women. In women, one is a Hysteria

suffering, while the other is normal. The same circumstance in the men as in women. Ensure that the women have similar State of health except the mental illness. Ensure they have similar age. Do all this to the men, too.

2.Divide them into two groups marked group A and group B. group A has a normal man and a

normal woman while group B has an ill woman and ill man.

3.Invite them to the lab of MRI on a 9:00 o’clock morning.Require them stay relaxed in the

room. Invite one into the inner room where place a MRI machine. Tell him to become Unconscious not to think and become relaxed. Then detect the brain with the MRI and make

a vivid brain activity movie of all the procedures. Do all the detect to all of the subjects and

record all the procedure of the brain.

4.After the detecting , analyzing the difference between the normal and abnormal people’s

brain behavior .

5.Assuming that the result is that Hysteria suffers brain is still active in some area even when

they are relaxed comparing to the normal ones.

So what we would see is that in the normal people their brain’s activity gradually become flat just like this:

But if the person has mental diseases ,what we can see from the record that MRI make is like this: (the Abscissa represents the time and the Ordinate represent the rate of activity in some area of the brain)

So that represents the abnormal activity in this area.

If the experiment can prove the assumption right,then we can do further study in the reasons of the illness. on the basis of the experiment ,we can find some cure to the illness. If it is true, maybe we can try some medicine that could control some specific area in brain to reduce the excitatory therefore contribute to the cure of the illness.

Above all it is just a imagination,what the experiment will result I don’t known. But I believe that both science and technic will do contribute to our human’s life and future of course including me .

We cannot deny the phycology performs in the world. It helps us learn more about ourselves and more about the human and the world especially when it combined with other subjects.
