Effect of prefrontal transcranial magnetic stimulation on spontaneous truth-telling.
Abstract
Brain-process foundations of deceptive behaviour have become a subject of intensive study both in fundamental and applied neuroscience. Recently, utilization of transcranial magnetic stimulation has enhanced methodological rigour in this research because in addition to correlational studies causal effects of the distinct cortical systems involved can be studied. In these studies, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been implied as the brain area involved in deceptive behaviour.

The other day I caught a glimpse of myself in some reflective surface somewhere...
and discovered that I had two pair of reading glasses on my head...sometimes I get on my own nerves and sometimes I crack myself up.

The Crops Failed because the Sun God is Angry...
A look at some of the principles of critical thinking.
December 3, 2012
A documentary adaptation of Naomi Klein's 2007 book, The Shock Doctrine.
Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, The Shock Doctrine vividly shows how disaster capitalism -- the rapid-fire corporate re-engineering of societies still reeling from shock -- did not begin with September 11, 2001.
The films traces its origins back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in Washington today.
