It talks about the misuse of fMRI data and makes some good points about Psychology's real successes in understanding how "the mind" works. It might make a good discussion starter for some of your students The link is: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/a-real-science-of-mind/?hp <http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/a-real-science-of-mind/?hp> Don Allen Retired professor Langara College --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: tay...@sandiego.edu<mailto:tay...@sandiego.edu>.
