Philosophy professor Kevin deLaplante, with over 14 years of teaching experience, developed the videos.

In a nutshell, what is the Critical Thinker Academy?

The new format focuses on the many books that have been featured on the podcast, including last month's episode (BSP 72), which featured the authors of Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions. Visit the BSP Group at Goodreads.com Discuss BSP 72 I have added all the books that have been featured on past episodes, so you can start a discussion about any of these. The "Currently Reading" section includes the books I hope to feature on upcoming episodes. This is in response to many requests from listeners. There is also a place for you to add your own reading suggestions, as well as several areas for other topics.

While there are some PDA forums with medical subsections, there are very few dedicated ones for medical PDA users. My initial concerns: - forums invite spammers. This is the bane of all forums and no matter what anti-spam measures one puts in, they still get through - need for moderation. Otherwise objectionable posts may be made. - it will suck up more bandwidth and disk space However an open discussion forum will allow medical PDA users to share information and help one another. There are new platforms like the iPhone for instance and many users might be lost without some guidance. We can learn from each other. Hence, I decided to take the plunge and create a forum...

Both Developing Intelligence and Conscious Entities explore both the meaning of consciousness and the relationship between the human brain and computers.

Meanwhile, the role of embodiment in cognition continues to be a growing area of research. I enjoyed a recent post on the Scientific American Community website entitled Thinking with the Body by Art Glenberg from Arizona State University. He reviews recent research by Holt and Bellock. The bottom line is that even when people are involved in verbal tasks, like reading sentences, their comprehension is influenced by their body knowledge of what is being described.

But like many large social networks, it is a part of the “hidden Internet” because it is conducted exclusively through electronic mailing lists (or “listservs,” after a type of popular software that runs them). Online mailing lists have been around online since the 1980s, and yet still many people are unfamiliar with them and how they work. An electronic mailing list is a simple device that allows you to send an email to a large group of people transparently, and without having to type in everyone’s email address each time you want to email them. It’s sort of like a global email alias. Mailing lists tend to be topic-based, and you can choose to receive th...

It is especially difficult for consumers and patients to understand and evaluate the potential risks associated with the use of Rx drugs.A new study in the September 10 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine found multiple problems with drug labels. The authors suggest that one way to improve readability and patient understanding of labels is for FDA to initiate a national standard for their format and content -- much like it did with the "Nutrition Facts" labels required on food packaging.In fact, the FDA recently invited food companies, trade groups, watchdog organizations, medical experts and its overseas counterparts to share how front-label symbols, like the "traffic light" system used in Britain, c...
