For when you've had enough of journal articles: Distorted body images and communication hopes for locked-in, vegetative patients : two new free articles from Scientific American Mind. The challenge of preventing violence is not just an American problem....
- Embodied Cognition
I mentioned Embodied Cognition briefly in my talk at SILS yesterday so thought I would post a bit more about it here. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a nice definition, which begins: "Embodied Cognition is a growing research program in cognitive...

ScienceOnline11: Scientific American Mind
Fun stuff in the #scio11 swag bag, deconstructed:- My favorite item in the ScienceOnline swag bag was the free issue of Scientific American Mind. I'd read several issues, but not in a few years, and it's a great accompaniment to breakfast.
- Thanks to the free issue, and the reminder of how much I enjoy it, I have started a personal subscription -- so thanks, @sciammind.
- Happily, the UNC Library subscribes to the online edition of Scientific American Mind, but -- call me old-fashioned -- I still like to read some things in print.
- Why Testing Boosts Learning, by Andrea Anderson.
- The Pain of Exclusion ostracism and or sense of self, by Kipling D. Williams.
- Mind Over Magic?, the Nov/Dec. 2010 cover story by Stephen L. Macknik, Susana Martinez-Conde and Sandra Blakeslee.
