July 8, 2009

Humans can see into the future, says a cognitive scientist.

- Close Encounters of the Rude Kind
  One of my personal crotchets is people who walk down busy city sidewalks without looking where they’re going. These days they might be texting on an electronic device, but it’s not the technology I object to. They could just as well be reading a book. What’s annoying is the expectation that the crowds will part, that all the other pedestrians will make the e […]

  You don’t have to spend much time googling or digging—or doing that old-fashioned thing: reading a book—these days to realize that the brain is often up to its usual tricks when the subject is neuroscientific research. That is, the brain is simply going about its business. Sometimes, it lights up like a Christmas tree on the [...]
