The new Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)
has a few articles that may be of interest to psychologists, including
this one on how a multiplayer online game is being used to develop
models of the structure of proteins.  A mass media account of the
article is available here:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-27083_3-57320078-247/scientists-pleasantly-shocked-by-skills-of-foldit-gamers/

And the abstract of the PNAS article is available here (this is an
"open access" article which mean you have access to the fulltext
for free):

Another article of potential interest is one that answers the question
"Did the painters who made the ancient cave painting make realistic
images from life or did they make "stylistic" representations from
their imagination?"  For one answer to this question, see this
mass media article:
