General brains - science or fake?

In 1927, Dr. Edgar Beall - an American brain scientist - was called to court as a witness to a murder. Here, he published his research on the skull shape of the Snyder Rush and concluded that she had a ' plow-like face like a cat '.

According to him, it is a typical example of 'gratitude, fraud, and passion for murder'. Along with other evidence (though unclear), the court executed this woman's image on the charges of killing her husband.

It is the period of prosperity of the subject of brain science, a science of science (giving results that are not based on scientific research methods, like astrology, seeing hands, fortune telling), applied in crime reviews.

The general brain is based on the shape of the head and humps on the head to identify the personality of the person, predicting their future. Based on this, people even think of a machine that automatically detects criminals.

The concept of the general brain was first mentioned by Austrian scientist Joseph Gall (1758-1828), and he was considered the founder of the subject . "Prophets" use fingertips and palms to check for protrusions on the skull to find tumors with individual characteristics. Combined with the body shape of the skull, the bumps on it help them determine their personality, ability, and even predict future problems such as occupation, health, and drought.

According to them, the human skull is divided into 27 regions related to different functions; for example, region 1 is a reproductive instinct, area 3 is related to disease, zone 5 is related to the instinct to eat meat . The brains of the brains learn that the head tumors are related to the brain map. On the other hand, if a person has a big bump in a certain area then that ' area ' will be more active than the others (if it falls into the 5 area 'then' it will be an infamous killer).

Once upon a time, this divination had many connections with other sciences such as neurology, cranial anatomy and brain functions, through skull examination. It is widely accepted, even welcomed by neurologists, as a useful tool in medical examination and treatment.

  The skull-busting fortune-tellers even reaped much success in cranial anatomy and functions. In the 20th century, it had many connections with the field of positivistic science such as crime, and the theory of evolution prevailed during that period. Cranial science and anthropology used

methods to measure brain and face to identify improvements in evolutionary identification and crime management. But more and more, it is further away from natural science and develops in the direction of the occult.

Once a support for fascism

Bernard Hollander, a famous scholar of the 20th century, published a book of General Brain Science , which is considered the methodology of the subject. This 'methodology' is considered by the racist (including fascism) as 'biological' bases and 'scientific' evidence to confirm the existence of race. superiority.

Belgian professor Paul Bouts also proposed pedagogical methods based on a new 3 in 1 formula for the general brain to learn, that is: Geometric graphics - Tarot - Psychology .

It is thought that the inventor Thomas Edison (1847-1931) was fascinated by this subject. He did not believe it when he was remarked by a brainstorm as the inventor of an inventor, until it came true. This shows that at the height of the period, the general brain learned to crept into many areas such as medicine, politics, art and greatly affected society. A brainstorm study can ' divert ' criminals in the future, so there is a time when people planned to imprison before the " future killers ."

In the 1930s, the ' latest research ' on brain science was continuously published, the ' science ' houses of the subject appeared everywhere. People also invented a machine to replace their work. Just sit in the seat, take the " spirit hat " on the head, this bizarre machine will check the 27 regions of the skull and give the results of the owner's post-trauma and post-trauma (this machine is currently displayed). presented at the museum in Minneapolis).

After this period, with the development of natural sciences, the subject of brain science was heavily criticized from the scientific world such as neurology, psychology . It is thought that it would be very misleading if only dividing the brain into 27 regions, and furthermore, cannot find a link between the brain cell system and the shape of the skull. Finally, because it was impossible to find any evidence to support the brains of the general, this subject faded away, which could be said to be a complete end after the death of Professor Paul Bouts in 1999.
