    A lot of advances in psychology came from observing people with brain damage

Yes, it's remarkable what we can learn from the outliers and anomalies. I have been fascinated by studies that have been conducted on people with only one lobe - yet, somehow their brain compensates for missing an entire lobe - and the person can still be highly functioning!
