  • Chris Chatham on the relationship between psychology and neuroscience
  • Why healthy people call in sick for work
  • Excellent long analysis of Isabel Peretz's "The Nature of Music from a biological perspective"
  • For the attention-impaired: Excellent, shorter analysis of the above analysis
  • Hey, we've got something to say about Peretz, too!
  • More discussion on the nature of music
  • Related but different: Figure out how to quantify people's tastes and win a million bucks

Update: A bonus link, which offers some support for something my 14-year-old son has been saying for a long time:

The Daily Show just as substantive as regular TV news

Cognitive Daily Closes Shop after a Fantastic Five-Year Run
January 20, 2010
Five years ago today, we made the first post that would eventually make its way onto a blog called Cognitive Daily. We thought we were keeping notes for a book, but in reality we were helping build a network that represented a new way of sharing psychology with the world. Cognitive Daily wasn't the…
Both musicians and non-musicians can perceive bitonality
January 20, 2010
Take a listen to this brief audio clip of "Unforgettable." Aside from the fact that it's a computer-generated MIDI performance, do you hear anything unusual? If you're a non-musician like me, you might not have noticed anything. It sounds basically like the familiar song, even though the…
Synesthesia and the McGurk effect
January 14, 2010
We've discussed synesthesia many times before on Cognitive Daily -- it's the seemingly bizarre phenomenon when one stimulus (e.g. a sight or a sound) is experienced in multiple modalities (e.g. taste, vision, or colors). For example, a person might experience a particular smell whenever a given…
Does watching TV really kill you?
January 12, 2010
Today I had to put off my normal morning run in order to make time to be interviewed on a radio show at 7:30 a.m. As I waited on hold for the interview to start, I could hear the hosts joking back-and-forth about what the "latest TV controversy" is. "Is it the Jay Leno / Conan O'Brien news on NBC…

Arctic Ice and the Polar Vortex, #SochiSlush (Updated)
Everything is about ice these days, what with the Winter Olympics in full swing. Concerns that the temperatures at the mountain venue of Sochi would be problematically high have panned out; the lower parts of the downhill slopes are slushy and the bottom of the half-pipe is all bumbly wumply. Injuries and lost medal opportunities are mounting up every day, in part caused by the unusual "Spring"…
Inflation, Dark Energy, and the Physics of Spacetime
"Orbiting Earth in spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase beauty, not destroy it!" -Yuri Gagarin Fifty-two years ago today, the first human being left Earth, and we began our journey into outer space. But back in 1961, we didn't really know how far outer space stretched, or where all the matter and energy in the Universe came from. Image credit: NASA,…
3QD Sci Blogging Contest - Thanks!
Thanks for your votes, everyone! One of the three posts of mine initially nominated for the 3 Quarks Daily Science Blogging Prize made it to the semi-finals! Somewhat unsurprisingly, it was the post on oral sex in fruitbats. Check out the other semi-finalists, here.
