Neuroanthropology discusses the best way of going about studying neuroanthropology and the problems you might face from other researchers worried about this crazy new mix of neuroscience and culture.

When material things become immaterial

You know things are getting bad when the AARP Bulletin publishes stories about over-50, formerly upscale, now homeless folks sleeping in their cars in Santa Barbara, Calif. No kidding. The New Beginnings Counseling Center runs a city-funded safe parking project in that idyllic city by the sea. It’s where once-middle-class-or-better people — many still with SUVs and gym memberships — sleep in their cars in church parking lots and other safe havens while trying to get it together a... more

The 23rd edition of psychology and neuroscience writing carnival Encephalon has just been published, this time ably hosted by Madam Fathom. A couple of my favourites include a fantastic article on inducing slow wave sleep by stimulating the brain with magnets - from the wonderfully named Phineas Gage Fan Club, and some excellent coverage from The Neurocritic on an intriguing theory about how higher cognitive functions might be organised in the brain.

If you roll your eyes every time you hear more media hype surrounding the pseudoscientific ’think your way to victory’ film The Secret, Scientific American has a short, sharp, shock of a reply to its dodgy claims about the mind and brain.

No, it hasn’t. "Our physio... more

BBC’s Newsnight programme just had an interesting video report on the renewed debate about whether mental health services are institutionally racist. While these accusations have been made for some time, what is new is that some black and ethnic minority mental health workers who work in these communities are starting to argue that this label actually makes it more difficult to provide fair treatment to their patients. The subject was recently tackled in one of regular debates held a... more
