Ha, the level of thought in our politics is such that some of the presidential candidates did't even accept evolution, and this guy thinks they're ready to deal with a neuroscience view on free will?

The bit on Lesch-Nyhan syndrome was interesting. As was the relationship between psychiatry and CIA. / I think it was a worthwhile post. The term "blog carnival" comes across, to me, much like "sex farm."

Interesting concept, briefing the president on such things. First priority? I daresay not, and that's coming from a professional neuroscientist. Except maybe the APA/CIA/Gitmo thing, but only as it relates to ending torture.

The term "blog carnival" comes across, to me, much like "sex farm." Wasn't as good a song, though.

supercres, where do you research? I'm a neuroscience student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I think few people acknowledge the role that neuroscience has in society. Neuroscience is, at its heart, the most visceral science, because it researches how we think and how we define ourselves .

To me, neuroscience would be as useful to social policy as processor chip design is to determining the best way to create a UI. Categorical distinction.
