The midbrain also referred to as mesencephalon contain the cranial nerves that stimulate the muscles which are responsible for the control of the movement of the eye, the shape of the lens as well as the diameter of the pupil. It is this part that joins the spinal cord and the forebrain. It is the part that is also charged with controlling voluntary movements and moods. It controls the respiratory muscles, the vocal cords, it also controls the pharyngeal, the oral as well as the nasal passage that facilitate resonance. It is the part that enables articulation control as it controls the tongue, palate, lips and mandibles. It is this part that controls the laughing and crying of an individual (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2013). In the artificial brain, there would be cells that allow for the articulation of more languages than it is at the moment. The artificial brain will also allow for the higher mood tolerance so that man is able to withstand extreme mood swings.
The hindbrain on the other side is responsible for a number of activities that are controlled by the medulla oblongata. This part governs the expansion...
It is also responsible for the function of the heart and the dilation and contraction of the blood vessels. It is also this part that controls the involuntary respiratory reflexes and digestive reflexes as coughing, vomiting, sneezing and swallowing (General Psychology, 2013). In the artificial brain, I would make most of these activities into voluntary ones. I would enable man to be able to control vomiting so that they are able to expel the unwanted material from the body voluntarily and not be forced to do so even in places they would rather not.

Cognitive Psychology Absolutely nothing interests humans more than humans. For this reason, numerous fields of study have arisen regarding humans. These fields of study include, but are not limited to, anatomy, anthropology, biology, sociology, and psychology. The focus here is the study of psychology, specifically the study of cognitive psychology. The American Psychological Association states that, "Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. The discipline embraces all aspects of
Cognitive Psychology borrows heavily from the works of Alfred Adler, Albert Ellis, and Aaron Beck. In fact, it is founded on Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology. Freud had insisted that sexual impulses were the chief factor in formation of normal and neurotic personality something that made him part ways with Adler who went ahead and formed a new approach that became the basis for all cognitive psychologies. Behaviorism formed the basis of
Cognitive psychology is the study of how people perceive, learn, remember, and think about information. Cognitive psychology was shaped by several milestones but four of its most significant transitions that I will focus on are: Functionalism, Behaviorism, Psychobiology, and Computer Engineering (including Artificial Intelligence (AI)). Functionalism: Functionalism was a popular approach to the first school of psychology, Structuralism, that sought to understand that structure of the mind and its perceptions by breaking
Cognitive psychology is the study of the mental processes that contribute to behavior, including the internal behaviors of thinking and feeling (Kellogg, 1995, p. 4-5). Much of what the mind does can be compared to a computer processing sensory information and responding by moving the muscles of the body; however, the mind also performs other important functions such as assigning meaning to events and objects and reacting emotionally to external

Psychology is considered to be an area of study that involves behavior. Behavior is demonstrated in a lot of diverse areas in the field of psychology. Some of these examples are mental illness, relationships, sexuality, depression, family dynamics, or culture. Accepting of behavior is picked up by various techniques and it could be from society or changes in individuals or the overall population. Psychologists look at various factors such as
