    The document discusses the history and evolution of cognitive psychology and the study of the mind. It covers early experiments in the 1800s, the founding of the first psychology laboratory in 1879, the emergence of behaviorism in the early 1900s, and the rebirth of the study of the mind starting in the 1950s with the cognitive revolution. It also examines the basic principles of neurons, how they were first observed and mapped, and how neural representations can be localized to specific brain areas or distributed across networks.
