Redefining Reality - The Intellectual Implications of Modern Science

The study of psychology changed forever with the development of
such imaging techniques as the CAT scan, MRI, and PET scan, which
allowed us to see inside the brains of living, acting, and reacting
questions in terms of brain structures and relational activities among brain
but what actually emerged was the intricate study of the ways in which the
brain is a part of the larger environmental system. Human consciousness is
more deeply entwined with our relationships with other people and the world
around us than we might have thought.
computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan, which is a computeraided
x-ray process. CAT scans give us a three-dimensional
perspective and enable us to see the structures of working brains.
However, CAT scans present two problems. First, x-rays are
dangerous to patients, and second, CAT scans provide only
snapshots of structure. We don’t see action, changes inside the
brain, or the actual working of the parts.
These concerns were answered by two new technologies, one of
which was magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
