| 1639659357 | Consciousness | Awareness of ourselves and our environment | 0 | |
| 1639659358 | Dual Processing | The principle that information is often simultaneously processed on separate conscious and unconscious tracks | 1 | |
| 1639659359 | Selective attention | The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus | 2 | |
| 1639659360 | Inattentional blindness | Failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere | 3 | |
| 1639659361 | Change blindness | Failing to notice changes in the environment | 4 | |
| 1639659362 | Circadian rhythm | The biological clock; regular bodily rhythms that occur on a 24-hour cycle. (which is sync with body temperature) | 5 | |
| 1639659363 | REM Sleep | Rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active. | 6 | |
| 1639659364 | Alpha waves | the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake state | 7 | |
| 1639659365 | Sleep | Periodic, natural loss of consciousness - as distinct from unconsciousness. Resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation. | 8 | |
| 1639659366 | Hallucinations | False sensory experiences, such as seeing something in the absence of an external visual stimulus. (During stage 1 sleep) | 9 | |
| 1639659367 | Delta waves | the large, slow brain waves associated with deep sleep (Stage 4) | 10 | |
| 1639659368 | Insomnia | recurring problems in falling or staying asleep | 11 | |
| 1639659369 | Narcolepsy | A sleep disorder characterized by uncontrollable sleep attacks. The sufferer may lapse directly into REM sleep, often at inopportune times. | 12 | |
| 1639659370 | Sleep apnea | A sleep disorder characterized by temporary cessations of breathing during sleep and repeated momentary awakenings. | 13 | |
| 1639659371 | Night terrors | A sleep disorder characterized by high arousal and an appearance of being terrified; unlike nightmares, night terrors occur during Stage 4 sleep, within two or three hours of falling asleep, and are seldom remembered | 14 | |
| 1639659372 | Dream | A sequence of images, emotions, and thoughts passing through a sleeping person's mind. Dreams are notable for their hallucinatory imagery, discontinuities, and incongruities, and for the dreamer's delusional acceptance of the content and later difficulties remembering it. | 15 | |
| 1639659373 | Manifest Content | According to Freud, the remembered story line of a dream (as distinct from its latent, or hidden, content). | 16 | |
| 1639659374 | Latent Content | According to Freud, the underlying meaning of a dream (as distinct from its manifest content) | 17 | |
| 1639659375 | REM Rebound | the tendency for REM sleep to increase following REM sleep deprivation (created by repeated awakenings during REM sleep) | 18 | |
| 1639659376 | We register and react to stimuli outside of our awareness by means of PARALLEL processing. | When we devote full conscious attention to stimuli, we use SERIAL processing | 19 | |
| 1639659377 | During sleep we pass through a cycle of five stages, each with characteristics brain waves. | As the night progresses, the REM stage becomes progressively longer. | 20 | |
| 1639659378 | In interpreting dreams, Freud was most interested in their Latent content, or hidden meaning. | The activation-sythesis theory suggests that dreams are the brain's attempt to make sense of the random neural activity. | 21 | |
| 1639659379 | cognitive neuroscience | the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition (including perception, thinking, memory, and language) | 22 | |
| 1639659380 | blindsight | a condition in which a person can respond to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it. | 23 | |
| 1639659381 | suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) | a pair of cell clusters in the hypothalamus that responds to light-sensitive retinal proteins; causes penial gland to increase or decrease production of melatonin, thus modifying our feelings of sleeplessness | 24 |
