The Motivated Brain. Higher Nervous Activity and the Scientific Foundations of General Psychology

The book reveals key concepts of general psychology: needs, emotions, will, behavior, individual (typological) differences, consciousness, and unconscious manifestations of higher nervous activity in humans. Their analysis is conducted from the perspective of the author's proposed needs-information approach and relies on data from ethology, physiology of higher nervous activity, and human psychophysiology. The connection between issues of artistic creativity and the theory and practice of education is particularly relevant.
