Leaf+Pile

This is the "leaf pile" for students to sort through and find tidbits to add to the wiki. In each list below there are links to stories, blog posts and studies pertaining to class topics. Each link has a short description taken from the first 150 words of that story. Links in the list change from time to time--some more quickly than others--and as new things crop up, it's first come, first served. toc

BPS Research Digest
This is the research digest of the British Psychological Association--a great source of new studies! Pay special attention to the ones labeled "Feast" or "Extras," because those are usually long lists of new studies, any one of which might make a perfectly good addition to the wiki! rss url="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BpsResearchDigest" link="true" description="true" length="150" number="5" date="true" author="true"

Mind Hacks Blog
"Mind Hacks" is a book series featuring the neuroscience of real life. The authors have their own newsfeed where they talk about neuroscience in the news. While these are usually not studies, they may mention them, and are otherwise excellent sources of news stories. rss url="http://mindhacks.com/feed/" link="true" description="true" length="150" number="5" date="true" author="true"
