berkeman said:What do you think? Is this for a report?
tgt said:No idea. Do you mean a report for me or I'm doing a report?
Moonbear said: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.
tgt said: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.

A Neural Psychologist is a scientist who studies the relationship between the brain and behavior. They use various techniques, such as neuroimaging and cognitive tests, to understand how the brain influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
A Neural Psychologist conducts research to investigate the neural processes underlying different behaviors, such as memory, attention, and decision-making. They also work with individuals who have neurological disorders to assess and treat their cognitive and emotional impairments.
Visiting a Neural Psychologist can provide valuable insights into your brain functioning and behavior. It can help identify any underlying neurological issues and provide personalized treatment plans to improve cognitive functioning and emotional well-being.
Neural Psychologists use a variety of techniques to study the brain and behavior, including neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI, EEG), cognitive tests, and behavioral experiments. They may also collaborate with other scientists, such as neuroscientists and neuropsychologists, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the brain.
To become a Neural Psychologist, you typically need a doctoral degree in neuroscience, psychology, or a related field. You will also need to complete postdoctoral training and obtain a state license to practice. Strong research and analytical skills, as well as a passion for understanding the brain, are essential for this career.
