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…

Goodbye, Galaxies!
"I am undecided whether or not the Milky Way is but one of countless others all of which form an entire system. Perhaps the light from these infinitely distant galaxies is so faint that we cannot see them." -Johann Heinrich Lambert One of the greatest discoveries of the 20th Century was that many of the great, faint, extended nebulae in the night sky were not merely objects within our own galaxy…
Mobile phones, medals, a doll's legs, an entire army... is there anything a gull won't swallow?
Welcome to another article in the 'over-enthusiastic swallowing' series. As was the case with the previous article (the one on Mushu the pet bearded dragon), this one doesn't involve the death of the animal(s) concerned. In fact - so far as we can tell - the creature(s) that did the swallowing didn't suffer any ill effects from its/their behaviour at all. The creatures concerned are gulls:…
Weekend Diversion: The Greatest Cabaret in the World (Synopsis)
“I love that moment just before the curtain goes up…It’s a thrill that’s unequaled anywhere.” -Joel Grey Seven of the greatest and most entertaining achievements of human ingenuity. I don't know how many of you have ever come across the French television show Le Plus Grand Cabaret Du Monde (The Greatest Cabaret in the World), but it's devoted to providing a platform for some of the most…
