About
Encephalon comes the greek enkephalos which means "that which is inside the head". That is of course of the brain. Encephalous means that which possesses a head. The name Encefalus signifies three things:
1)It’s a direct mention to the greek word for brain
2)It’s signifies the person that thinks
3)It provides a different spelling than the correct one thus individualizing my blog 
(pretty much like the name Beatles instead of Beetles)
The purpose of this blog is to combine an update of the current scientific research on psychology (and all its related disciplines) along with criticism, personal thoughts and commentary. Since psychology, along with its many other facets, is a social science I consider its connection with society to be an essential part of it. Therefore, the criticism and the commentary I make will often take things to the larger scale of society whether the research concerns neurology, cognitive psychology or anything else. Holding true to this spirit, this blog will many times incorporate current news from all over the world in an attempt to establish the missing link that differentiates mainstream psychology from the real out-of-the-lab world. I hope that this blog really brings something different to just a simple updating of the current research, because there are, indeed, many blogs that do this job.
And here we go…
