Psych Super Heroes
Had a simple assignment of creating superheroes by manipulating parts of the brain. I am still giggling. I have to share...
1. What is the name of superhero 1?
Napman
2. What brain structure is augmented?
The reticular formation
3. What simple plot would encourage this superhero to come to the rescue?
Not only can Napman voluntarily manipulate his own reticular formation, but he can also manipulate others’. Can’t fall asleep late at night? Sounds like a job for NapMan!! Need to pay attention right now, but can’t figure out a way? Call NapMan! He’ll set you awake now, in exchange for scheduling a time to make sure you sleep later.
4. What is the name of superhero 2?
Super Coroner
5. What brain structure is augmented?
The parietal lobe
6. What simple plot would encourage this superhero to come to the rescue?
Don’t want to damage evidence by poking a hole in your dead person? Super Coroner is here! Her parietal lobe has been souped-up to new heights by a brain defect that heightens her sense of touch and temperature. A single fingertip and Super Coroner can tell you how long the victim has been deceased!
7. What is the name of superhero 3?
Rubber Man
8. What brain structure is augmented?
The pituitary gland
9. What simple plot would encourage this superhero to come to the rescue?
Having limited skeletal growth from an underdeveloped pituitary gland, which produces it’s growth hormone, Rubber Man has very small bones while his skin and muscle have continued to grow as normal! His amazing feat involves storm grates. Lost your keys? Hear that baby kitten down in the sewer? This is a job for Rubber Man! He’s able to snake his arm down through the grate and rescue the lost things that dwell beneath the city. If it’s a tight fit, it’s a job for Rubber Man!
10. How original or playful are your creations?
I think they’re very creative! With heroes in our midst such as Super Coroner, Rubber Man and NapMan, what can the city have to fear? We’ll all be sleeping well, not worrying about what we lose down the storm drains and know INSTANTLY when a person died. Who wouldn’t want to live in this city?!?

To which my husband says... we're PAYING for this? Bwahahah!
