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.

About
Mixing Memory is run by Chris, a cognitive scientist who shall for now remain anonymous, except for his first name, which really is Chris. The name (Mixing Memory, not Chris) comes from a poem, and was picked on a whim. It is now rationalized by Chris as representing his approach to cognition, which involves bridging the gap between emotion and cognition. Chris' own work is in higher-order cognition, including things like long-term memory, analogy and similarity, metaphor, concepts and categories, the interconnection between language and thought, and embodied cognition. However, formal expertise poses no limits on Chris' blogging, and he is more than happing to venture into perception, neuroscience, linguistics, anthropology, social cognition, and philosophy (experimental philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, phenomenology, etc.). He might even talk about politics now and then, if it pleases him to do so.
Chris is always taking requests, so if you have a topic in cognitive science that interests you, let him know. If he knows enough about it to write an entire post (and maybe even if he doesn't), he will do so. If he doesn't know enough about it, he will point you to someone who does.
