I entered this course convinced that the brain controlled all aspects of our behavior.  I don’t really know why, but it just seems like “science” would be a logical explanation for everything unknown.  I thought that if there was not a scientific explanation, then one would come along someday and explain whatever question it was that is yet to be answered.  Boy did I change my mind!  Although I still believe that “scientific” research and background validates many explanations, I feel less inclined to rely so heavily on data.  Perhaps there are some things in life that we will never know the answer to.  This course made me more critical of scientific research and less likely to fall back on it for an answer.  It doesn’t matter how much hard evidence there is to back up a theory, there are always more questions and more ways to look at a problem.
