Neojungian Typology Functional Descriptions

In this part, we add and we pair up the encoding and association dichotomies with the execution, processing, cognitive and affective dichotomies, nailing down the neojungian functions. In a way, doing this is entirely useless: we never use solely one function, we always pair one function with another. Whenever you think back to a mental state you've been in, your thoughts have always been the result of using two functions or more si..

Two types of attention
01-27-2015
There are two types of attention which more or less impact the rest of the brain. These two types are on different ends on a continuum and are antagonistic with each other, this means increasing one type of attention decreases the other. It is imporant to not confuse these with other concepts of top-down and bottom-up in the brain. Top-down and bottom-up is a concept which is used in many fields to describe how dynamics are moved, not only neuroscience, top-down means that signal starts from top..

Four different types of creativity
01-10-2015
There are at least four distinct forms of creativity.

The ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC) is considered the location for human working memory. [2] Lateral frontopolar cortex (LFPC) are activated in the social domain, provided that the task requires the integration of one’s preferences with those of others. [3] Frontopolar cortex (FPC) are also activated for when a abstract relations are integrated in analogical reasoning. [4]

It is also found to be involved in goal-..

Two types of encoding
12-16-2014
Encoding consists of at least two categorizes:
* Stimuli details, motor manipulation of objects, stimuli properties and sequence of actions. Reasoning about physical objects or logic. These in operated by the mirron neuron system and overlaps greatly with a network called dorsal attention network (DAN). In Neojungian Typology this form of cognition is called Mechanic encoding. [1, 2, 3]

The mechanic encoding is related the mirron neuron system which acts as a motor simulato..

Charles Darwin's search for emotional expressions
10-28-2014
"In the late 1860s and early 1870s, Darwin had corresponded with the French physician and physiologist, G. B. A. Duchenne, regarding Duchenne’s experimental manipula- tion of human facial expression of emotion, by applying Galvanic electrical stimulation directly to facial muscles. Duchenne had produced a set of over 60 photographic plates to illustrate his view that there are different muscles in the human face that are sep- arately responsible for each individual emotion. Darwin stu..

The biology of personality and temperament
10-01-2014
Various research have found that dopamine receptors, serotonin receptors and serotonin transporter variants in the dopamine and serotonin system are making the foundation for how our brain regulates the automatic vs. controlled behavior, the top-down vs. bottom-up attention balance and also to how high extent we use creative-thinking and when.

These variants are inturn strongly inherited and found in our DNA code. This means personality is to a large extent inherited and that our ..

Nonverbal communication
08-12-2014
"Nonverbal communication is the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless (mostly visual) cues between people. It is sometimes mistakenly referred to as body language (kinesics), but nonverbal communication encompasses much more, such as use of voice (paralanguage), touch (haptics), distance (proxemics), and physical environments/appearance.[1] Typically overlooked in nonverbal communication are proxemics, or the informal space around the body and chronemics: the use o..
