Do we even know what a neural psychologist does?
I think berkman's asking if you're doing a school project, tgt.

They will tell you to use google more often. Searching it on google would take less time than is required to make a post on PF.

I think it's flattering that folks think we know more than Google. 
tgt, just to clarify the confusion above, the question is so vague with no context that we're not sure if you were assigned this topic for coursework, or if you have some other reason to have this particular question pop into your mind. That's why people are hesitating to give you answers if they know them.

Thanks for clarifying. Now my turn. I like to know what it would be like to visit such a specialist. What gain is there? No, I'm not doing it for a report.
On the side, how developed is the theory? I realize not much is known about the brain.
