Emily points me to a recent Boing Boing post on free neural notecards from David Linden's
Accidental Mind blog (Linden is the author of the Accidental Mind, blogged here back in April).
If you like brain science, you'll love these images!
My favorite is Phineas, but he's not really appropriate for a family blog. (not familiar with Phineas? Wikipedia sez: "Phineas P. Gage (1823 – May 21, 1860) was a railroad construction foreman who suffered a traumatic brain injury when a tamping iron accidentally passed through his skull, damaging the frontal lobes of his brain.")

A pair of photograph collectors in Maryland, USA, have uncovered what they believe to be the first and only ever photographic record of Phineas Gage - the railway worker who survived an iron tamping rod passing straight through the front of his brain,...

What all the cognitive scientistas are carrying: Cool Hunting: Brain Bag has a description and another photo. Emily found this on Boing Boing....
