Cognitive Neuroscience Blog Posts
Cognitive neuroscience seems to be a very popular psychology-related subject area for bloggers - there are certainly quite a few blogs specifically writing about cognitive neuroscience (and fMRI, neuroimaging, social neuroscience and related subjects).
We've tried to highlight a handful of them in the box on the right, but there are plenty more out there!
The blog posts below are all tagged in Technorati as being about Cognitive Neuroscience. They may be 'lighter' reading than you're used to, or they may be surprisingly academic and in-depth - it all depends on the individual blogger (or the individual blog post). We hope you find them interesting, informative, and engaging.
We also hope that they'll help you discover some blogs that you'll bookmark to read regularly, whether they're for your education, your continual professional development or for leisure & recreation.

- What is a blog?
- Shortened from "web log", a blog is an online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger". Blogs are an increasingly popular form of online peer-publication.
99% Genetic? Individual Differences in Executive Function Are Almost Perfectly Heritable [Developing Intelligence]
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 12:32:35 -0700
Your ability to control thought and behavior relative to your peers - a set of capacities known as "executive functions" - is almost entirely genetic in origin, according to a newly in-press paper from Friedman et al. Over 560 twins completed tests to measure fundamental components of these executive functions, and the results were analyzed in terms of how similar identical twins performed to one another relative to fraternal twins (all twins in the study were reared together). Astonishingly, t

Brain Fitness Webinar Series

I have been travelling much over the last 2 weeks to speak at a number of conferences and universities. I promised I would be sharing some of the key highlights, but we have decided to do something better to do justice to the richness and complexity of the field we cover. We are going to launch an experiment: a Brain Fitness Webinar Series. This inaugural Brain Fitness Webinar Series will consist of 3 free live sessions. The series covers the most fundamental advances in cognitive science and

Time Distortion Due to Visual Flicker

Time Distortion Due to Visual Flicker [ Time pervades our understanding of the world - we use it to coordinate our movements, to perceive motion, to plan our behaviors, and perhaps even to understand causality. But it is an under-appreciated factor in cognition. Even in the domain of the well-understood visual system, few realize that neurons in visual cortex are tuned not only for sensitivity to visual input of particular orientations, but also tuned also to time - in terms of temporal co

Daniel Lende and Greg Downey run the though-provoking Neuroanthropology blog. Daniel also teaches a class at University of Notre Dame, and he asked his students to submit group-based blog posts in lieu of the traditional final essays. He explains more on Why A Final Essay When We Can Do This?. Below you have a spectacular post written by 4 of his students. They show how brain imaging is starting to provide a window into the plasticity (glossary here) of our brains, and how our very own actions

Mr. Leonard Krauss and Dr. Stanley Karansky win a “Merzie”
posted on Sat, 10 May 2008 20:28:09 -0700
Over the past three years, we have conducted several research projects at Rossmoor, a retirement community with about 9,000 residents about 20 miles east of San Francisco. Rossmoor is in a beautiful rural setting in a narrow valley surrounded by oak-cloaked hills. I have given a number of lectures there, and am always struck by the great sense of peace and community expressed by its residents. Two Rossmoor citizens stand out for me, and I would like to award them the second “Merzie Prize” for 2

Why great artists (some of them, anyway) are indeed pretty cool: some aspects of Jonah Lehrer's Proust was a Neuroscientist

Great thinkers and artists and practitioners have intuited and observed and verarbeitet in dozens of ways insights into memory and perception (of all! of our senses) that scientists are *just barely coming to now*. Notes to self of interest: Virginia Woolf, Dec 1910, human nature changed -- month in which Bertrand Russell's Principia Mathematica was published. Also: the first exhibition of post-impressionist paintings. Incl. Paul Cezanne's, who was largely vilified -- dominance of positivisti

Our ability to suppress unwanted thoughts and behaviors is thought to be related to a process known as "inhibition," whereby ventrolateral regions of prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) actively suppress inappropriate representations. A 2001 study by Sakagami et al. recorded firing data from neurons in the vlPFC to determine the exact mechanism by which this might occur.
