'exposed to experiment' - Upenn Professor Short Answer (Psychology)



Life is Cool 2 / 2  
Dec 31, 2008   #1
Thanks in advance if you can help improve this short answer. I honestly didn't know how to write this so here it goes:

The convolution of the human mind has always been an inexplicable inquiry to humans for centuries. Understanding the neural bases of human thought has intrigued me ever since I skimmed the surface of Psychology at my first after school class in the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Briefly discussing the capabilities of perception, memory, decision-making, and development has made me yearn for a better grasp of knowledge upon the subject. Professor Javier Medina seems to hold that key to open the door to this knowledge that I wish to attain based on his experiments concerning the intricacies of the human mind. Professor Medina's research attempts to understand the neural processes that allow humans to attain and consolidate new motor skills such as learning piano and riding a bicycle. His goals upon this research are to further comprehend the link between neural activity, long-term flexibility and motor learning in the brain.

The mere thought of being exposed to this experiment excites me to no end.
The incessant information he can provide me with is unthinkable, but I am strongly interested in exploring it. Learning from Prof. Medina's proficiency in vivo neurophysiology and computational neuroscience would be an honor to look forward to.

Do you have a prompt or topic you have to write about for this essay? What is it?
This was well-written and thought out, but I would watch out for missing commas and using prepositions at the end of sentences. Good luck!
