My special interest is in the interaction between psychology (the study of the mind and human behaviour) and cognitive neuroscience (how the brain functions). I always need to know why. Why why why. So when someone tells me that humans typically behave and develop like this, or that these people's behaviour differs from the norm, I need to know what is happening in the brain.

I always look at the big picture though and cannot understand why some people only look at their area without considering input from other specialisms. It makes even the most experienced and knowledgable "expert", fundamentally narrow minded and stupid. I therefore always like to look at the anthropological, societal, biological, physiological and any other specialism that logically assists in explanation.

My studies are for my own autonomous benefit, however I choose to organise them in a structure that can be recognised externally at an academic standard. My Unschooled, autonomous masters degree covers both a science and arts focus in multiple specialisms.
