Cognitive stuff from a cognitive person. If you've got any requests, drop me an email. If it takes me a while to get to it, drop me another one.
The lovely banners were created by Anton Oetll and Todd Hartman.
April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.
Reading Group

Beyond Belief (Slight Reprise)
Category: Philosophy
In lieu of an effortful post on cognitive science while I'm relaxing for the holidays, I thought I'd say a few things about religion and Dawkins again. If you hang around ScienceBlogs, you've probably noticed the spat between the two...

Cognitive Science of Humor
Category: Cognitive Psychology
I'm traveling today, so I'm posting something I wrote along time ago instead of offering anything new. This one's from the blogs early days, so I really hadn't gotten used to this blogging thing when I wrote it. Also, in...

Piling On

More than a week ago, Razib wrote an unfortunate little post in which he displayed all sorts of poor judgment. Since it's short, I'm going to quote the entire post here, including his updates. The virginity thread generated a lot...

Money as a Drug
Category: Cognitive Psychology
I'm going to be traveling tomorrow, so I'm spending today getting ready. Instead of a long post about research, I thought I'd link you to a paper Stephen E. G. Lea by in press at Behavioral and Brain Sciences. For...

Music In the Mind: Is Pitch Represented On a Mental Line?

Best Science Blog

Congratulations to Pharyngula, winner of the 2006 Weblog Award for Best Science Blog. Congratulations to Bad Astronomy Blog for giving PZ a run for his money, too. I finished last, but given the fact that my traffic is much, much...

Letters from Nietzsche
Category: Philosophy
OK, the last two posts with quotes from philosophers were at least remotely relevant to recent discussions on this blog. These quotes will be completely irrelevant, but they've stuck with me since I first read them at least a decade...

Memory Without Remembering... For 17 Years
Category: Cognitive Psychology
Speaking of studies that make you go "wow," I recently read a very recent one that really surprised me, and thought I'd describe it here. Memory researchers are famous for coming up with different types of memory, sparking years of...
