Psych:
- Journal #6 - "Consider your discussions today from class and think about the oddities of the mind.  Think about the brain map, all the different areas of the brain, and all their corresponding functions.  Is your brain your personality?  Is it who you are?  Could some catestrophic brain injury change a person into someone else? (consider Phineus Gage on page 86).  Think long and deeply about what this means.  Also, consider the manner in which differently spaced damage to the brain produces odd effects."  You all need to write longer and more thorough journal entries.
