  • Chris Chatham on the relationship between psychology and neuroscience
  • Why healthy people call in sick for work
  • Excellent long analysis of Isabel Peretz's "The Nature of Music from a biological perspective"
  • For the attention-impaired: Excellent, shorter analysis of the above analysis
  • Hey, we've got something to say about Peretz, too!
  • More discussion on the nature of music
  • Related but different: Figure out how to quantify people's tastes and win a million bucks

Update: A bonus link, which offers some support for something my 14-year-old son has been saying for a long time:

The Daily Show just as substantive as regular TV news

Cognitive Daily Closes Shop after a Fantastic Five-Year Run
January 20, 2010
Five years ago today, we made the first post that would eventually make its way onto a blog called Cognitive Daily. We thought we were keeping notes for a book, but in reality we were helping build a network that represented a new way of sharing psychology with the world. Cognitive Daily wasn't the…
Both musicians and non-musicians can perceive bitonality
January 20, 2010
Take a listen to this brief audio clip of "Unforgettable." Aside from the fact that it's a computer-generated MIDI performance, do you hear anything unusual? If you're a non-musician like me, you might not have noticed anything. It sounds basically like the familiar song, even though the…
Synesthesia and the McGurk effect
January 14, 2010
We've discussed synesthesia many times before on Cognitive Daily -- it's the seemingly bizarre phenomenon when one stimulus (e.g. a sight or a sound) is experienced in multiple modalities (e.g. taste, vision, or colors). For example, a person might experience a particular smell whenever a given…
Does watching TV really kill you?
January 12, 2010
Today I had to put off my normal morning run in order to make time to be interviewed on a radio show at 7:30 a.m. As I waited on hold for the interview to start, I could hear the hosts joking back-and-forth about what the "latest TV controversy" is. "Is it the Jay Leno / Conan O'Brien news on NBC…
The outfielder problem: The psychology behind catching fly balls
January 7, 2010
It's football season in America: The NFL playoffs are about to start, and tonight, the elected / computer-ranked top college team will be determined. What better time than now to think about ... baseball! Baseball players, unlike most football players, must solve one of the most complicated…

Still more oversold placebo research from our old friend Ted Kaptchuk
Here we go again. In the wake of study after study that fails to find activity of various "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) beyond that of placebo, the campaign to a "rebrand" CAM as "working" through the "power of placebo" continues apace, in the wake of the successful campaign to "rebrand" various needle-based medical modalities as "acupuncture." Personally, I've argued that in…
Comments of the Week #180: From the planets Kepler missed to the NASA photos that changed the world
“We do not realize what we have on Earth until we leave it.” -Jim Lovell Well, the Scienceblogs comments are still on the fritz, requiring me to manually un-spam them one-at-a-time, but Starts With A Bang! is still going strong with some fabulous stories based on the best knowledge we have! This next week is poised to be a doozy of a fantastic one, as Treknology is out at last…
A Test for Neutrinos: Put Up or Shut Up
"Where there is no patrol car, there is no speed limit." -Peter Beckmann You've of course heard the news that the OPERA collaboration in Italy has measured what appears to be neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light. Image credit: Raoul Pop. The way they did it was pretty straightforward. Shoot a pulse of protons moving at ultra-high energies -- at speeds indistinguishable from the speed…
