Mind Hacks

Mind Hacks is all about "neuroscience and psychology tricks to find out what's going on inside your brain," and every post provides incredibly interesting tidbits that help us understand ourselves--and other people--better. What's the role of the "mind's eye"? Why is e-mail so addictive? What is in Hitler's psychiatric file? Why does flattery work even if we know it's insincere? You'll find answers to these questions and more, with posts divided into categories like "Attention," "Hearing and Language," "Other People," and "Reasoning." Plus, the Nonsense section debunks myths, finds extra-weird brain-related tidbits, and occasionally has funny videos. The blog's authors point out the best and stuff from scientific magazines and journals you may not (okay--probably don't) read. Visit this blog and, not only will you feel a little smarter, you will find out why learning is fun.
