smalldaveDave Munger selects several notable posts each week from psychology and neuroscience. He blogs at Cognitive Daily and has a weekly column on SEEDMAGAZINE.COM.

  • Steve Genco offers a compelling critique of fMRI and the many ways it can be abused.

  • On the other hand, Kevin Mitchell discusses some amazing new technology that allows us not only to see brain activity, but also how different parts of the brain interact.
  • On the other other hand, dlPFC discusses some research that effectively uses regular old fMRI to show why we have so much trouble multitasking, and even suggests how we might be able to learn to multitask better.
  • Finally, a completely unrelated — but fantastic — post about the amazing nose of the star-nosed mole.
