Empire of the Mind

Empire of the Mind is a blog for people interested in psychology, whether psychologists themselves, scientists in other fields, or simply interested members of the public. The (probably somewhat optimistic) aim is to give an entertaining yet insightful look into the world of psychology and neuroscience. It covers quite a broad range of topics, with each of the blog's central themes isolated to individual pages which can be accessed via the tabs at the top of the page. To help readers navigate to topics of interest, each of the tabs are explained below.
