phrenology

n. 1. a 19th century branch of psychology that studied the size, geography, and hairiness of someone’s skull in order to determine his personality and mental capability. Now chiefly replaced by the study of the left and right brain and other brainless myths that postulate fanciful, utterly unverified correlations between the brain and what goes on in a person’s mind.
