Well, I think anybody who believes in time travel is probably from the future… What do you think? Okay so. You dont see anybody with big Brains or aliens walking along the sidewalk, but the brain world is probably the super distant future. Ask people, “how do i know you’re not from the future?” This is good mind control. I bet they will find no way to elude this ultimate question.

If a big brained alien comes in front of you with a wormhole machine(i call time machines wormhole machines or time displacement machines)Go to the ultimate big brain future that i have been talking about and find out if my theory is true. There may be a small chance, but big brains floating around traveling as fast or even faster than the speed of light.I don’t know.

Researchers in at the University of New Hampshire discovered something very important recently. The show COPS is actually useful for something besides freaking out stoned kids who accidentally flip to FOX when it's on. By watching many many many episodes of COPS Mardi Kidwell, assistant professor of communication, learned that making eye contact with a panicked person is a very important way of controlling their behavior. She describes her findings in a paper entitled, "'Calm Down!': the role of gaze in the interactional management of hysteria by the police," which was recently published in Discourse Studies.

Hopefully she won't be performing any studies using Reno 911 as a model of police behavior.

This story is almost useless without video - which Is why I'm posting it. Can anyone get a video of an Orangutan playing a video game? In any case... Here's the basic story:

In one game, orangutans choose identical photographs or match orangutan sounds with photos of the animals -- correct answers are rewarded with food pellets. Another game lets them draw pictures by moving their hands and other body parts around the screen. Printouts of their masterpieces are on display in the zoo.

The computer games, which volunteers from IBM spent nearly 500 hours developing, test the animals' memory, reasoning and learning, spitting out sheets of data for researchers at the zoo and Atlanta's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, a partner in the project.

By the way, the animals are in the Atlanta Zoo. So head on over and check them out! (and get some video for us!)

When given the chance, people will sacrifice their own incomes to punish the rich and help the poor. That's the conclusion of a new study, which shows that we harness our inner Robin Hoods to promote egalitarianism--although our motives are not always pur

The NIMH seeks participants for a new neuroimaging study on neurodevelopmental abnormalities in the brains of blog trolls. Objective: measuring the quantity of gray matter lost by repeatedly browsing MindFreedom's web site.

It's been hard to find enrollees, so far, because those who qualify tend to sneer and shrug it off with, "NIMH? They're just pharma shills. Neuroscience is a sham, man." Subjects also have difficulty filling out the application form, claiming to be named God, giving a Yahoo newsgroup as an address, and pasting long rants about Zyprexa into the spaces provided for "birthdate" and "sex". The lone participant the NIMH has managed to recruit thus far is apparently getting along fine by screaming "pseudoscience fuckwits! ha-ha, I'll prove you all wrong!" at the lab technicians while they good-naturedly jam him into an MRI tube where a piece of rotting fish is hidden.
