Mixing Memory
An entrée of Cognitive Science with an occasional side of whatever the hell else I want to talk about.
Search this blog
Profile
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
The Mixing Memory Reading Group is a place for experts and non-experts alike to discuss books and papers in cognitive science.

Half a Mil
At some point recently (I'm not sure exactly when, but in the last 2 weeks), Mixing Memory received its 500,000th visit. That's, like, a lot. A whole lot. I don't think I imagined getting even 5,000 when I started this...Posted on October 8, 2007 1:05 AM • 5 Comments • 0 TrackBacks

Welcome, Neurophilosophy
In case you haven't noticed, ScienceBlogs has a new neuro-blogger, and he's one you probably already know: MC, or Mo, the Neurophilospher. And he's hosting the 26th edition of Encaphalon at his new digs....Posted on July 2, 2007 11:28 PM • 0 Comments • 0 TrackBacks
The Basics of Statistics

Week of Science Challenge
So RPM of Evolgen and I were sitting around, chattin' about science blogging, when we suddenly realized that more and more, what science bloggers blog about is dictated not by science, but by anti-science. Creationists, global warming skeptics, anti-vaccine nuts,...Posted on January 17, 2007 3:22 PM • 7 Comments • 0 TrackBacks

Habermas on Blogs
Well, not on blogs exactly, but internet communication in general. What he says definitely applies to blogs, though.

A Note and a Link
First, the link. This probably won't be of interest to most of you, but some might like this: the published version of Habermas' lecture titled "Religion in the Public Sphere".
