Biological Psychology

The basic premise of the theory is that physiological arousal instigates the experience of emotion.

The key component of the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion is that when the thalamic discharge occurs, the bodily changes occur almost simultaneously with the emotional experience.

Neuroscience

was a Soviet neuropsychologist, often credited as the father of modern neuropsychology.

James Olds (May 30, 1922, August 21, 1976) was an American psychologist who is considered to be one of the founders of modern neuroscience.

REM rebound is the lengthening and increasing frequency and depth of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep which occurs after periods of sleep deprivation.

Sleep inertia is a physiological state of impaired cognitive and sensory-motor performance that is present immediately after awakening.

A hypnic jerk is defined as a brief and sudden involuntary contraction of the muscles of the body which occurs when a person is beginning to fall asleep, often causing the person to jump and awaken suddenly for a moment.

A chronotype is the behavioral manifestation of an underlying circadian rhythm's myriad physical processes.

Hypnopompia (also known as hypnopompic state) is the state of consciousness leading out of sleep, a term coined by the psychical researcher Frederic Myers.

The years of hospital training were interrupted by a year of clinical neurophysiology under Herbert Jasper, who was unequalled for his breadth and clarity of thinking in brain science.

When my studies were completed I returned to Professor Bernhards’s laboratory at the Karolinska Institute in 1954 to do basic neurophysiological research.
