Neuroscience
Brain Awareness Week concludes today, and with that I'll post the final neurosong. It's actually a whole set of them - the Neuro Nation Mix by DJ Statikfire, a Chicago DJ who specializes in "industrial/gabber/electro and tech house/electro/synth" music. It's a good way to end the week since one of the songs in the mix is actually about neuroscience (instead of just a title): the cyberpunk/transhumanist concept of "neural ascention."
The neuroword contest has been such a smashing success it's going to be tough to pick a winner. If you have any last minute inspirations, post them now - contest ends at midnight PST. I'll announce the winner Monday evening.

Wow, I'm truly impressed! 50 inspired and inspiring new neurowords were entered in the contest by 30 people. Ranging from jokiness to snarkiness to serious descriptions of science, I think a lot of them are destined to enter the lexicon. Now that...

My neuroword contest has brought many clever, creative entries from people like an artificial intelligence developer, neuroethicist, neuroinformatics developer, and some just described as neuroscientists. But one member of that subset has a problem with...

Happy Brain Awareness Week! Organized annually by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives with partners such as the Society for Neuroscience, BAW raises, well, awareness of, yes, the brain. (Here's a public service announcement to share.) As anyone...
